A quick google shows him to be a man with an axe to grind and objective analysis seems not to be his forté, but if his narrative resonates with you, mazel tov.

This is a normal post "if his narrative resonates with you" pfft
The way crime is recorded has become so bad crime stats are almost certainly a poor representation of how much crime and knife crime there is. But the stats do show knife crime is rising. Hardly grinding axes to point out the person directly in charge for 7yrs might be a bit to blame. I wouldn't agree with him on is his solution however which is basically "more officers".

This is a normal post May has got a lot to answer for, particularly on knife crime.
As Home Secretary she demanded a reduction in stop and search and the data shows a direct correlation in the rise in knife crime. This is a point tubby could have made, but failed to. He's an angry rent a gob, and not a good one. In addition to more officers he also appears to want officers to get more involved in a social work type role. I think he should get more involved in a diet.

This is a normal post serious question
is crime worse, or is the perception of crime become worse? - ie social media increasing awareness.

Recently there seems to have been a spate of breakins in our community. WE live in a nice area, so it comes as a bit of a shock. Articles are shared, people are incensed... CCTV videos shared etc.

But speaking to people over the fence, these incidents arent new, they have happened in the past, in spate.

This is a normal post I think it's a bit of both
Crime in our area has certainly gone up, but it has always been a burglary hotspot.

What is changed is the amount and nature of youth crime. What used to be low level antisocial behaviour has changed to throwing bricks at tram windows, hurling bottles and glass ash trays at people eating/drinking in bars and restaurants and youth shoplifting has gone through the roof.

One thing that has certainly changed is people's awareness about what the police will and will not bother investigating. Round here, if the amount of goods stolen is less than £200 they don't bother. We had a house on our road broken in to on Halloween. A policeman knocked on my door on the 20th November to ask about it and wondering whether we had any CCTV. A 20 day response time to burglary... is it any wonder no one is ever caught?

This is a normal post It's pointless the police catching minor crims until the judges pass proper sentances.
and prisons become places that crims don't want to spend time in.

This is a normal post Prison has 4 purposes
1) punish the offender
2) protect the victims from repeat offences
3) try to stop the offender from re-offending after release by rehabilitation
4) deter other people from offending

This is a normal post It's almost as if there're quite strict sentencing guidelines to which judges have to adhere,
and prison doesn't work.


But neither of those can be true, because the world is simple.

This is a normal post Absolutely it's worse
I grew up in a nasty council estate in South London, top ranking for almost all indicators of social deprivation. Kids didn't take knives to school. The weaponisation of the yoof is a real difference
 (I helped save b3ta! simbosan liked your link on, Tue 16 Jan 2018, 12:04, , Reply)
This is a normal post Obviously results will differ by locale.
But I wouldn't say it's any worse these days than it was back when I were a nipper. I remember once in Primary School, a kid showed up one day with a pair of knuckle dusters. Fair enough, that was a one-off but the more aggressive of the school bullies would often take the rubber ballast from traffic cones to school and proceed to use them as a baton to beat fuck out of the weaker children.
Nearby was a school for children with moderate special needs (hearing impaired, mildly retarded, that sort of thing). One of the higher ranking bullies used to set up ambushes at our school gates, so when these poor bastards were walking past on their back from school outings, him and his mates would grab the kids at random and proceed to leather. I have distinct memories of witnessing hearing aids and massively thick lensed glasses being stomped under foot. Bear in mind this was in full view of the teachers accompanying these children who barely had time to react. Fucking animals.

By High School, arseholes of a similar ilk were carrying flick knives on a regular basis. There seemed to be a massive explosion in their popularity around 1995/6 up these parts for some reason. I don't recall anybody ever getting harmed by one. But I suppose that's down to good fortune more than anything else. A kid did get stabbed to death a few years earlier at a nearby High School, though.

I said to my wife that their plan was to allow crime to rise then implement oppressive laws using the rise in crime as validation.

I still expect this, they are just waiting for a riot or something newsworthy.

Never knew when you needed to do a bit of stick whittling.
The police then had a fraction of the resources they do now.

The problem is you've got a whole generation of people with fuck all empathy that'll think nothing of killing another.

This is a normal post Black on Black crime
In the US, Black on Black crime is rampant,and growing, even in areas where crime as a whole is down trending. Officials know this yet seem content to allow them to hammer away at each other, often with the idea fi they are content to do this to each other, why interrupt? If it spills over into white neighborhoods, then actions are taken, but for the most part Institutional Racism can be easily fostered by simply adhering to strict economic policies where diminished resources are allocated evenly, thus not preventing crime where it is surging.
She should have asked him, "What is it going to cost"? and "Where should those resources come from"? To which he could have answered, "I dunno".
