Little Hulton (where I live) is a tiny town on the very westside of Greater Manchester - Also known as Salford; It's a very small fraction of Manchester and an even smaller fraction of England. Considering guns aren't even legal and there's been 9 shootings in less than 6 months within a 2-3 mile radius, in my opinion that's bad.
The ignorant Americans that have some sort of grudge against the thought of the UK having 'ghettos' or 'rough' areas, are completely blind and have no knowledge on the topic. If you compared the crime-rate of USA and UK on terms based on scale/population, then you would think differently. It's only because USA have like 50 times more people than England that you have such higher crime-rates... The UK's is just compact into a smaller area.
As I said, I'm not glorifying anything, I think it's quite sad actually.
