I think in the context of crime most people realise we are talking about cities as being large metropolitan areas, not places that are "cities" because they were important 500 years ago (royal charters / cathedrals etc). I'm sure Ripon must be the safest "city" in Yorkshire, even though there are villages with similar populations in South Yorkshire.

Maybe it had an adverse affect on him? you know it’s funny - I’ve never met someone who said - “oh you know old Dave - he’s started taking drugs and it’s really sorted his head out - it’s like that was just what he was missing in order to integrate in osociety without any concern about trying to hack someone’s head of with an axe.” troll.

There are 36 cities in the UK with a population of 200,000 or greater. Unless you want to change the technical definition of the word 'city' to London, Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester only then Sheffield is most certainly not one of the safest cities in the UK.

There is a big difference between mental illness and drug-induced madness. Although my daughter has lost 5 mentally ill friends to suicide, not one of them would have ever hurt anyone else. I know there are some sad cases of schizophrenics doing bad things, but they are rare and are usually due to them not taking their meds and/or not having a support person or persons. Well said! Everybody is always so quick too judge remember 1 in 4 people are said to have mental health problem/illness etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It used to be that to qualify as a 'city' a place had to have a cathedral, irrespective of population size. Thus Ely, Cambridgeshire became a city and how big a place is Ely ?

Depends on how you define safety. Is it total number of incidents, or incidents per head. Perhaps this is why St David's isn't -top of the list?

He was found with drugs on him and oh yes he was arrested last year around the Cathedral. Clearly not imprisond and left to attack again. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/armed-officers-arrest-axe-man-in-sheffield-city-centre-1-9090168 Do you want any more evidence?
