If folks would look at the actual figures they would see that these claims are obviously false. Looking at the homicide figures for Scotland, you can see the spike from Lockerbie. And the ridiculous claim that Japan counts murder-suicides of families as suicides is easily falsified by looking at the age breakdown of suicides -- they are no (that is zero) suicides of small children. > Apparently (if the news article are factual), the UK rate has been > skyrocketing in the post-Dunblane years. The violent crime rate in England has decreased significantly since 1997. We already did this discussion last year.
