Re: Flower Seller Killed in Fatal Bag-Snatch Attack
Although the bag snatches are bad, the gangs from the mainland using knives and guns are much worse. Hope the locals don’t learn this behavior and start shooting first and then robbing second.
There was an article about the prison population exploding and building more prisons to house them.

"Most people" read to many online forums. Crime generally goes down as an economy improves. The Cambodian economy has been rapidly growing for years.

A very large part of the population is still extremely poor. Add to that increased drug use and increased desire by people to own the latest smartphone and I would contend that crime is a long way from reaching its peak.

All of the above strikes me as true, plus crimes increase as holidays approach, in this case The Water Festival.

My guess is the rehabilitation and training for work upon their release, didn't work so they reverted to the easy method of obtaining money.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
