Urban Violence

[NorthernRaider]

Disagree on all three points Barney, in 2010 London had 32,000 officers available to deal with the Tottenham riots but they were withdrew for their own safety, so police numbers is irrelevant.

Street lights and being converted to LED in many areas which is saving hundreds of millions of pounds in energy bills, this could and should be used to improve lighting in high risk areas.

And benefits have fuck all to do with street crime.

I think in some areas many parks sadly become defacto sleeping places for homeless people, and even worse the scum in society then prey upon those vulnerable homeless, then the scum get cocky and start targeting anyone they consider easy prey.

BUT as usual can we focus on what we CAN do to mitigate the effects on us, rather than causes of which we have no control.
