Are you scared to leave your house?

Are you scared to leave your house?

Apparently, 42% of us are too scared to leave our homes at night due to fear of yobs. A third of people have also called the police to tackle problems with local troublemakers. And 65% think that under-16s shouldn't be allowed out at night.

Are you scared to leave your home? What measures do you think should be taken to resolve this? Should we tackle the parents? Should kids have curfews?

    just like to say that since the bristol police stepped up their helicopter patrols over our area crime has went down but there should be more cycle patrols especialy at night. Also there are still mental heads driving cars at high speeds and doing handbreak turns in our narrow streets usualy on weekends and after 11pm. I say the Bristol police are doing a good job in this area and provided they dont slack or cost cut this area will become once a gain a safeplace to bring up kids.

    I'm not scared to go out at night but I find that I prefer not to unless its for dinner or somewhere where we can drive. There are just so many mindless yobs around these days and public transport is not always safe.
