    Menace of the violent girls: Binge-drinking culture fuels surge in attacks by women


    From the Daily Mail: Menace of the violent girls: Binge-drinking culture fuels surge in attacks by women

    The number of violent attacks by women has doubled in just five years in the age of the 'ladette' binge-drinking culture.

    Last year 87,200 women and girls were arrested for attacks – the equivalent of 240 every day. It is the first time in history that violence has been the most common crime among women and girls, taking over from theft.

    The category includes every violent offence from street brawls and assault to grievous bodily harm and murder.

    The shocking Government figures showed a rise of 8,300 in the number of women arrested for violence compared to 2005- 2006 – an increase of 11 per cent.

    Critics said there are clear links between the epidemic of loutish behaviour and heavy drinking, which they accused the Government of fuelling through 24-hour licensing.

    The Ministry of Justice report, released quietly on to the internet yesterday after MPs had left for the summer recess, also includes alarming figures on the scale of violence by children.

    Youngsters between ten and 17 were arrested for more than 230 violent attacks or muggings every day last year. The number of muggings alone leapt by 22 per cent, compared to the previous year, to 17,900 arrests.

    Violence against the person – which includes knife crime – was up by almost four per cent, to 67,000 arrests.

    The results will fuel concerns that Britain is in the grip of an epidemic of youth violence.

    Already this year 21 teenagers have been killed in London alone – most of them in knife attacks.

    Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve said: 'These figures show an alarming rise in the number of violent offences committed by women, fuelled by this Government's lax approach to binge-drinking.'

    On youth violence, he added: 'Gordon Brown's failed policies have contributed to family breakdown, failing school discipline and mixed messages on drugs and binge-drinking. This has fuelled youth crime.'

    Robert Whelan of the Civitas think-tank blamed a breakdown in society's values.

    He said: 'There are now so many children growing up in broken homes or with disruptive backgrounds that the self restraint taught to previous generations is no longer there. They think when they are angry they can just lash out.'

    Mr Whelan added: 'These figures reflect multiple failures; the breakdown of the family, the lack of discipline in schools and a criminal justice system that does not send out a clear enough message.

    'These problems have been ignored or mishandled for so long we have become a more savage society. It is very difficult to see a way out of it now.'

    The report contained a raft of new statistics on arrests. Overall, the number of people seized for a recorded crime was 1,482,200 – an increase of four per cent.

    There was a nine per cent leap in arrests for violence while arrests for robbery increased by 5,400, or 15 per cent.

    Of those arrested, almost a quarter were under 18 and 40 per cent under 21.

    The figures on violence by women will be most worrying for ministers, adding to a mounting pile of evidence of a spreading 'ladette' culture.

    Officials said it was the first time violence had topped the list of categories for which women were arrested.

    As recently as 2002-2003, there were only 42,200 arrests for violence, against 93,700 for theft.

    Last year, offences of theft and handling stolen goods by women were down to 80,200.

    Earlier this year, the Daily Mail revealed that the number of women arrested for being drunk and disorderly had leapt by more than half nationwide – and tenfold in some areas – in five years.

    Police leaders blamed the licensing reforms, which ushered in late-night and 24-hour drinking in pubs and clubs.

    The Police Federation said the days when officers could rely on women to be a 'calming influence' on male drinkers were no more.

    Alcohol Concern said there is no doubt that there were more women binge-drinking, following the example of young men.

    It added: 'The trouble is that women's bodies cannot handle these large amounts of alcohol'.

    The number of girls entering the youth justice system also shows an alarming rise.

    Teenage girls were responsible for 15,762 assaults and serious beatings last year, as well as more than 1,000 muggings.

    They were also responsible for 5,748 incidents of criminal damage and almost 1,000 drugs offences, according to the Youth Justice Board.

    In just three years there has been a 25 per cent leap in offending by girls of ten to 17.

    Elaine Arnull, of London's South Bank University, said: 'The bigger picture is that behaviour is changing and there is a link between girls using alcohol and violence.'

    Other statistics yesterday showed police stopped and searched 962,900 people in 2006-2007, up eight per cent.

    This included 96,300 searches for offensive weapons – up 24 per cent.

    The Home Office said last night: 'Serious violent crime fell by 12 per cent last year. These figures show police are taking action against violent offenders whoever they are.'

    'Gordon Brown's failed policies have contributed to family breakdown, failing school discipline and mixed messages on drugs and binge-drinking. This has fuelled youth crime.'

    Absolutely un-fuckin'-believable, the man's in the job for about a year, and it's his fault.
    You see, when he became Prime Minister, most young girls thought "Right, that's it, I'm going out to cause trouble", absolutely absurd to blame him for this.

    Father's not being in the home, whether they're deadbeats or dads who are being pushed out their child's life, is the main reason of society going to pot, once he goes out the door, the discipline goes with him, it is so overwhelmingly obvious, which is why it annoys me when people blame Gordon Brown (or someone else) for it.

    Add the fact that girls are raised to know for a fact that they will not be punished for their wrong-doings, and if they are, it will not be as harshly as boys, then add the fact that women are given a stockpile of excuses for their wrong-doings, like;
    "It's the school's fault"
    "It's the government's fault"
    "It's a man's fault (the closest one, any one will do)"
    "It's hard being a woman in a man's world"
    "Women have a lot on their plate"
    "It's society's fault"
    "It's anybody's bloody fault but my own"
    and what we're left with is chaos, total chaos, that by the way, we as men will be blamed for.

    The reason women are acting more violently, is simply because they get away with it, it really is that simple, they get away with so much that they just expect to never be held accountable for their actions, since they never have been before.

    Yep...this is a problem that's definitely on the rise. As you know, I work in an in-patient (residential) drug/alcohol addiction treatment facility, and we have twice as many beds for men as women. This was a set standard because in the past, the facility has had more referrals for men than women. However....since the start of my working there, my observation has been that we've had roughly equivalent numbers of female patients to males.

    In fact, we've had to turn many potential female clients away because there are not enough beds set aside for females. Our female beds (rooms) are continuously full. Right now we have 20 beds for men, and 10 for women, and on average we have about 12 men and 10 women filling those beds.

    And Harriet Harman and co. want to see women's prisons converted to men's prisons... Hmmm

    M - "Officer, that woman just attacked me for no reason, well, I mean, she's pissed out her skull, but I hadn't done anything..."
    Officer - "Well me laddy-boy, you're nicked!"
    Man - "UH?"
    Officer - "Lady Harman done away with prisons for womyn... So I'll arrest you instead for forcing your face into that dear, innocent lamb's fist."

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.

    This is a result of the fact that no one told feminists that the freedom they wanted (freedom to) as opposed to(freedom from,which they always had), came with the price of responsiblity. Women always used to be answerable to the men in their lives, the heaf of the family (father, brother, husband etc), and the same with children. Men were answerable to society at large. When male children became men then they became answerable to society. The system worked. Men had freedom to, but that came with responsiblity. They never really had freedom from.

    Women now have freedom to, but have never been taught the responsiblity. They have never been held answerable to their actions, they have no concept of duty, honour etc.

    Women still believe they have freedom from, along with freedom to, which means they think they can do anything and it is always someone else's fault.

    By freedom from, I meant freedom from the harsher parts of life, such as work, war, and so on and they relied on their men to fight their battles for them (through the law, through war, through everyday toiling in the field). Men had freedom to do what they wanted and answered only to society, this meant they had to have a greater idea of responsiblity, obligation and duty.

    That was my 2 cents.



    On a different note. The worst fights I have seen have been between women.

    Society and everything in it, all its Institutions and systems, its infracrtucture, its manufacture and goods and and trade, its protections, its farms, its food is all made by men over dozens of generations.

    It is an engine.

    It is fueled by men's labour and intelligence. It is lubricated by men's sweat.

    It has been on a journey and there is a long way to go.

    If you take out some of the fuel and replace it with 'Fragrance' from Estelle Lauder and you take out some of the oil and replace it with Oil of Ulay, there will be side effects.

    The most noticeable ones will be the coughing and spluttering of the engine - as we have been noticing for the past twenty years; the heating up of the water in the cooling system and steam coming from the the engine, as we are noticing with the rise in violence; and finally the engine will sieze up.

    The pistons will disintegrate and weld themselves to the cylinders.

    The engine will be buggered.

    From the first splutter to the stop will be a very short time.

    It will not be started up again.

    Fragrant smoke will not be counted as a 'benefit'.

    There may be some scrap value for someone. Maybe not.
