Ciao Davide,
Your English is molto bene with very few suggestions that I will make.
Italy is no different even if the murder rate is low....
it has spread like a cancer which has metastasized to give Italian citizens.....
making it really impossible for us to get rid of.
violence, especially against women...
aside from that there is a serious problem of sexual harassment and rape.
laws changed through the the years that have made it impossible...
I'm really sorry to hear this. As you know Italy has a reputation as a wonderful destination, art and culture and dolce vita and blah blah blah. Your entry points out that there is another side, not so easily seen or appreciated by the world. I don't know what it will take to cause those in charge to work for real social progress but I hope it does happen. Grazie, Tom
writing about crime in my country: could you please give it a read?
Crime is a serious problem almost everywhere in the world. Italy makes no difference even if murder rate is low compared to other countries like Brazil or the US. Our greatest plague is undoubtedly corruption: it has spread like a cancer evolved in a metastatis giving italian citizens nearly no chance to survive this plague. Corruption is everywhere, from school to hospitals, making really impossible to us to get rid of it. Another serious problem is violence, especially that against women. In spite of having a low homicide rate there is a huge amount of murders against women with boyfriends killing their girlfriends and husbands killing their wives. Aside from it there is a serious problem of sexual harassment or rapes. Robberies or abductions were a serious problem during the seventies (they were used to finance terrorist groups like "Red Brigades") but now have a very low impact on society: this may be due to laws changed through the years that have made impossible to pay any ransom to kidnappers. The way criminals are punished in Italy is not efficient with the richest always having a chance to avoid being sent to prison.
