100's of victims over 30yrs out of millions of people ?
that is true, but I've never been mugged nor has anyone in my family in the UK, and i only know of a couple of people who have, yes the risk is there, but how big is that risk ?

thou my misses aunt has been threatened with a knife a couple of times in the phils

i suppose you don't realise the risk until its happened to you and your a victim but then its too late
