While violent crime is down, I think the pride/narcissistic/ego complex in youth is growing, and that's why you tend to see incidents in the news about things at house parties and thugs coming back for revenge. It's happened a couple of times in Calgary in the last few years and will probably continue. Seems to be more commonplace.
The ability for younger people to be "disrespected" or come out with a chip on their shoulder seems to be manifesting, especially in the age of social media where everyone knows everything about everybody, including where they are and what they're doing. It's really an enabler for elevated levels of personal gratification.
I think thats what Muta might be getting at.
