With the amount of unsolved crimes rising over the past couple of years, we went out onto the streets of Manchester to ask people if they still felt safe in the city, and whether they would have faith in th police to help them if they fell victim to criminality.

00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo and today I'm out in the streets of Manchester asking people about crime
00:06And that's because the number of unsolved crimes has gone up massively in the last five to ten years
00:10So we want to know if people still feel safe
00:12Whether they feel less safe than they did and what they want doing about it to make sure that they feel more comfortable out on the streets
00:18Depends where you go I feel
00:21If you go to a certain part of Manchester, I'm sure it's worse than other parts
00:24If you go to a certain part of anywhere in the country, it's worse than other parts, you know what I mean?
00:28Probably no changes for myself
00:29There has been especially lately with more the racially motivated stuff. My fiance is half Indian
00:35So just simple things like her going out with her mates into city centres
00:39Yeah, I found myself a bit worried about that to be honest. I don't know
00:42It just seems like a load of hassle to be like
00:45Okay, or it seems like there are more pressing issues in the world than my 50 quid that got stolen or whatever years ago
00:53When I was back home in Sheffield, I got mugged after a night out
00:55But I didn't go to the police because to be honest, I thought it was pointless
