They're thinking of the golden age of "when I was young."

It never existed.

Just fantasy.

So, you don't want to play? Don't have any decade in mind that was less violent than now?

It's one of those odd things but if you take the effort to read the stats the level of violence in the UK has been dropping for at least the last few hundred years.

I'd point you towards the proof, but you don't strike me as the reading type.

As to your chief constable,I doubt they were asked what the level of violence in society is like compared to the past. If they did they would probably read the crime statistics and point out the UK is safer than its its been, more or less.

more or less

Yup, last year might have been better, or one metric might have been higher but all the rest lower.

The long term trends are clear and obvious, the day to day, week to week not so much.

But you still can't think of a specic time that was less violent?
