Kebab shops are 'top spot for violence' | News.com.au

Kebab shops are 'top spot for violence' | News.com.au
He has urged parents, friends and girlfriends of young men to encourage a more sensible approach to going out.
"For some reason, our society has become more violent and all the rules of engagement that were around 10 years ago, like one-on-one fights and one punch, no longer apply," Dr Fulde said.
"We now have situations where someone is down on the ground and they're still being hit. Then there are packs of men who jump in and kick, stomp and punch the person."
In one of the most shocking cases, a man was killed after his attacker took offence to the way he was staring in a Hungry Jack's store.

What are we doing to address this growing violence?
Young men see media reporting crimes perpetuated by famous people such sexual abuse, drugs and violence against women with no serious consequences socially or by law.
If this is acceptable against women and children certainly no big deal to exert violence against other men.
The only way to decrease violence is not only to give them football, and sport but also to provide them with education and support in their teens and young age.
Schools should provide education in areas such as conflict resolution, empathy, etc.
A new curriculum will certainly make a difference, we want to continue feeling safe when we go out, please maintain our Aussie way and stop this nonsense, cruel violence.
Education is the key.
