do you have stats to back it up....and point of clarification, by "unreported" do you mean to authorities or the media.

Its impossible to back up unreported stats, and I'm talking more to the police.
The whole underground gang scene has created vengence killings, robberies and home invasions that are never reported by the victims or the family for fear of reprisals.

To a certain extent, it doesn't have anything to do with upbringing. Teenagers today are the same as always, it' just that Calgary now has a population way bigger than when the 60 year olds were kids here.

I blame the pedestrian bridges, the ring road, property taxes, speeding on Deerfoot, Asian Resturants, and the Flames recent skid.
Actually, I blame Crack, Coke, Meth, Heroine/Opiates, and Pimping.

I'd say it's more about finding a medium.
But that's just me.

My parents are as old school as it gets really. Dad used to cuff me across the head when I was mouthing off, mom would stuff the soap in my mouth when I swore, I recieved plenty of spankings etc..........
and here today I consider myself a well behaved, well adjusted citizen. Well, I have never been to jail anyways.....
I guess my point is that I am all for the beating of mouthy kids. Parents today are too watered down.......

You'd be exactly wrong. Victimization surveys show that for violent crime there is a greater (MUCH greater in the case of sexual assault) tendency for victims to report to the police. In the early 1970s, it wasn't uncommon for less than a QUARTER or rapes to be known to police. The figure now is more like 70%.
Crime is down, and down in almost every category except those that didn't exist in the past. Murder reached its peak in Calgary in 1978 at a rate more than DOUBLE that in 2008. What's increased is crime NEWS.
There, I save you tuition for Soci 325.
