France: The ensavagement of a nation

Først i franske medier, 12 marts Snaphanen, i går Jyllands Posten og i dag den første engelske avis. (Og den 13 marts havde bloggen Mordforsøg på tysk islamkritiker forhindret, Politiken har den idag. “Hurtigpressen?)

A controversial book claiming France is becoming a “savage” nation with thousands of thefts, rapes and attacks going unreported daily has turned into an unlikely best seller.

Flying in the face of the traditional image of a country seen as the land of good living, ‘France, A Clockwork Orange’ claims that mainstream politicians and the media have long masked a far more disturbing reality: it is rapidly descending into mindless violence and incivility. “The real level of insecurity, probably the worst in the history of the French Republic, is around 12 million crimes per year,” he claims. To reach this figure, the author contends that true crime rates are “three times higher” than official figures as these only take into account registered or solved crimes.

“Nobody should ignore the reality,” the book claims, namely that “every 24 hours 13,000 thefts, 2,000 attacks and 200 rapes” take place in France – figures far higher than official national statistics. Telegraph: Clockwork Orange: France a ‘savage’ nation, book claims
