US - 8th most likely place in the world to get shot.
UK - 31st.
You're 30 times more likely to get shot in the US.
You're 4 times more likely to get murdered without firearms being involved even in the US.
You're 3 times more likely to get raped.
You're infinitely more likely to get executed. You're less likely to get executed in Syria than the US.
These posters are nothing more than any government crime prevention campaign like fitting window locks or telling us to cross the road at crossings. It's common sense not to get your flashy phone out in some dodgy neighbourhood but sadly common sense seems to be increasingly absent these days.
We have a growing number of petty little crimes like this in the UK and falling violent crime from a low level anyway so it's right to target petty crime.
