    It will be hard to get numbers as most are "managed" into dropping proceedings. After I graduated I worked in a late-night petrol station for a while and the police regularly stopped by for coffee/gossip and it was a regular complaint, Friday/Saturday nights were crazy and it was pretty much always the usual suspects. I felt sorry for the local plod. Depressing really, I was overjoyed to leave for London and become a contractor!

      So best filed under 'Alternative Facts'.

          Have you ever lived on a tulipty housing estate in a dead end satellite town?

          I am guessing not because if you had you would know exactly where TwoWolves is coming from.

            If it only applies to tulipty housing estates in dead end satellite towns, why was it being extrapolated to “across the country”?

              I was asking for evidence based research for your claim.

                So no evidence then?

                  Well no I did not take pictures of the incidents I saw happening

                  and as rarely anyone got arrested they do not get recorded as figures.

                  The police are regularly sorting out these sort of minor public disturbances as just part of their everyday job - they do not get recorded because often no crime is committed just people are drunk, stupid and angry.

                  It seems you feel that if there are no official stats on something then it does not exist.

                    How would you know what has really gone on behind closed doors when the police have been called out? Is it as TW describes or is that an Alt Right misogynistic fantasy? Without evidence, there is no way to tell.
