I can't claim to have read Fosdick, but I see an immediate problem in that demographics have changed through out Europe. Take for example London has a foreign population now of greater than 30%. At the same time there are areas in the north of England which remain overwhelmingly white which have deep social issues.
- bokonist 16y agoLondon is also much less safe than it was 100 years ago. Actually, all of England is much less safe. A good treatment of the subject is Peter Hitchen's A Brief History of Crime http://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Crime-Peter-Hitchens/dp/1843541483 http://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Crime-Peter-Hitchens/dp/...

One or more things prior to the more recent wave or waves of immigration changed that. (I have my own thoughts on that, starting with e.g. the 1950's court decision(s) that effectively eliminated the right of self-defense, but that's for another discussion.)
