The Netherlands is really fucked up in this regard. I don't think Americans truly understand how some European countries are AGING and how much birth rates are declining. The US would be the same if it wasn't for immigrants crossing the border. The situation is so bad that police can't even handle child abuse cases because there aren't enough detectives.

The second disaster as you refer to: criminals don't care if they are caught. Criminals unlike Hollywood says are kinda dumb and desperate. You can put them in jail for shop lifting for a few months at society's expense but they'll just do it again.

Huh, I didn't realize there was an issue in the Netherlands. Are you referring to mentally ill/addicted people like the parent comment? Or the police being stretched thin?

I will admit Amsterdam is certainly not a bit as safe as the Hague/Rotterdam/Delft in my experience, but even then it appears (to me) to be relatively tame.
