Yesterday we saw the death of yet another yoof he was 16 yrs old and makes it the 250 who have been stabbed to death.
Yet it’s revealed that 75% of police call outs are not crime related?
Just watching the news the most dangerous time is walking home from school wtf?
Me I think we need to basics more stop and search,you are carrying a knife you go to prison.
Sad times. [Post edited 7 Nov 2018 7:08]

You mean to say it isn't all the mayor's fault ad the Tories will have you believe
You do wonder if there is an alterror motive behind the cuts, driving the police down so they can outsource more of their services to the ever reliable G4S and Co |  |

The police are getting involved in too many name calling incidents and not enough actual crime.
They are short of cash and having to deal with people insulting each other on twitter and at petrol stations.
Forget that stuff and focus on real crime. |  |

20% of police funding has been cut since 2010 and, at the same time, cuts across the scope of Government have increased the workload on the police. This is the root cause, Cameron and Osborne's ideological desire to shrink the state enthusiastically carried out by Theresa May.

This. Totally agreed with that article a few days ago that a stretched police force is being bombarded by deserving issues and trivial squabbles.
Police are obviously underfunded but the landscape has changed so much in the last 10-15 years with cyber crime, social media et al.
Think it just needs a bit of focus. Money and bobbies on the beat won't solve these issues alone. |  |

The effects of austerity are finally coming through! They are doing their best to make sure that there is no such thing as society!
"They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours."Â (Thatcher) Part 1 in the manual for sociopaths! Maybe drug dealers should quote it in court!

And those people won't be helped either on Social Media
When my mate was on the beat, he said it happened all the time - they would strongly advise people to block each other or come off social media etc but they just won't do it because they then can't see what they are saying etc. It's just utterly pathetic that something causing that much distress isn't just walked away from.
Guess it won't be long before social media addictions are as real a thing as gambling, drugs and alcohol - if it isn't already |  |

The battle is against the perception that earning prospects are better for a whole segment of society by dropping out of school and joining a gang than persisting with education or getting a job. This in a cultural environment where the acquisition of supposedly quick and easy money with unlimited girls and a party lifestyle is endlessly glorified by real (or pretend) gangsters.
As opposed to the reality of being ruthlessly used under duress as a drug mule, or knifed in a concrete tenement stairwell over some meaningless insult.
That's why sports clubs are relatively successful in such situations - they offer not only an outlet for excess energy, but also the chance of being "discovered" and transported to a life of wealth and fame.
What's the "attractive" alternative we're trying to get these kids to stick to? Working all your life in an underpaid, crappy job (or 50 years on the dole) living on a run-down estate, with barely enough income to feed yourself. Not an easy sell. [Post edited 7 Nov 2018 9:20]

Some of them are trying to break the cycle. The lad that was killed yesterday was trying to turn things round apparently, but that must be incredibly hard once you're embedded in gangs. Kids are being picked up at 9,10, 11. They haven't got a chance at that age.
Somehow have to break up the gang culture.
Once poignant thing that the brother of the latest casualty said was that the whole of society is geared towards instant gratification and consumerism. So why should adults be surprised when young kids with nothing want to earn money by selling drugs? All the messages we give them are you have to have more stuff, shinier stuff, more expensive stuff. Those messages are a lot louder than ones telling them to do the right thing.
I suspect the answer to all this isn't simply isolated in the gang culture, but needs all of us. How we get there I've no idea. |  |

The theory was that volunteer organisations and charities would cover the gaps. Less taxation was supposed to give more capacity to donate. But when asked to spend their own money, people are no keener than on paying HMRC (but still bleat about the lack of services).
The reason humanity has been so successful as a species is we abandoned the self-centered hunter-gatherer lifestyle and combined together in societies and civilisations. It's about time the bulk of the population woke up to that fact. | |

Yes, agree with that.

It's a tad more deep rooted than that. Police numbers and resources have been annihilated in the last decade by Tory cuts. Prisons have been so starved of funding they cannot cope with what they have got already. Incidentally 10% of the prison and remand population are ex-armed forces, a sobering thought as we approach remembrance day. The youth service and in-school resources were utterly destroyed by the Tory-Liberal alliance - again as 'austerity measures'. Add in the deprivation and alienation felt by 'yoof' in inner city areas and you have a Tory-made recipe for social disaster. The only way to improve things is to vote labour for the next 50 years - and hope things improve rather than get worse exponentially as they will under the tories. | |

That's so true. Sometimes I chat to my housemates online... even when we're in the same house!
The internet has a lot to answer for. |  |

It's not that hard to believe is it? I'm in my room in the attic, she's in the lounge watching some crap reality TV. Why would I go down two flights of stairs to talk to her when I have whatsapp at my fingertips? | |
