The terrorist attacks are uprooting many lives in these days! Many people have a false belief that only men are there behind these brutal attacks. The shocking news is that more than half a million assaults were either carried out by a girl or woman last year or involved a female as part of a group- and the trend is increasing!

According to the British Crime Survey, women and girls were responsible for 13 per cent of all violent attacks in 2007/08. Most of the criminal incidents involve male and female offenders. The crimes include 281,320 assaults, robberies and muggings.

Females were also either directly responsible for or involved in 21 per cent of all wounding, the equivalent of 98,070 offences, and 28 per cent of all assaults involving a minor injury. It is indicative of how appalling habitual violence is on our streets that so many women are involved. It seems new tactics have to be designed to make the streets safer and to tackle alcohol-fuelled disorder.
