‘Nowadays, the most dangerous places are those where people gather together in crowds.’ How far do you agree?

dangerous places and crowds
  • Market places, shopping malls, tourist sites, beaches, festivals, transport etc.
  • Criminals can operate anonymously and disappear into the crowd
  • Terrorists can cause maximum human casualties
  • Protest rallies can be targeted by the authorities (danger of surge forward, panic, being trampled)
  • Previous safe havens like beaches and buses are now being targeted
  • Other dangerous places which could be visited (workplace, adventure destinations, venues late at night)?
  • Greatest danger could be when isolated
  • ‘dangerous’ is an emotive term; subjective
  • Places, where people gather in crowds, can be heavily monitored and protected
