I live in a big city, Birmingham, and have been down there on a Friday and Saturday night with my camera, and taken pictures like at ArtsFest with people enjoying themselves including children, without seeing those scenes. I'm sure I could find examples like that if I went looking for them, but the vast majority of people don't behave like that. As regards the media and their portrayal of this, only bad images make a story, so it's these images that they try to find thereby giving the impression that this is how we live.
