I used to live in Wealdstone in the late 80's, I was in Claremont Road about half a mile away. My daughter grew up there and I never once worried about her safety. Unless things have really changed, it was never what you'd call a "Ghetto Area". I moved from England in 2003, has it really become that bad now? When I see stuff like this I am so glad that I moved away. |  | | |  |

100% agree , the stance of less stop and search hasn't helped either |  | | |

I’m not particularly against stop and search, but it was always proven to do very little against knife and gun crime according to the home office themselves.
Spikes in violent crime always coincide with austerity and low wages. Surprised it’s taken this long to be honest.
Also, without wanting to look like a mad conspiracy theorist, lots of exaggerated coverage leading up to local elections in London that Labour were topping the polls for. You’ll notice that commentary will dry up now for a while. Irony is that police funding for London is a Westminster responsibility. [Post edited 7 May 2018 9:14]

This isnt a trend its a huge spike , a gang war ,we need a Home Office with some courage and a Mayor with some ideas rather than just wanting a cheque
We need a Police Force not a fckin "service " and we need some way to make the fathers of young people hang around to be someone these kids can look up to | | | |

I'd be surprised if gang related murders had anything to do with austerity and low wages. Can you provide evidence ? |  | | |

We were so close to some agreement there Essex.....
Some questions....
1) How do you make fathers ‘stay’?
2) Why are crime figures in Holland Park and White City so different yet single parent and divorce statistics the same?
3) Why is there a spike in crime but not a spike in single parenthood?
4) How do you know the perpetrators were in single parent families?
I agree a blank cheque won’t solve the problem alone but it’s a start. | | | |

Jesus a bloke stabbed in Buckingham Avenue , Perivale I used to have a flat there until I sold it 15 years ago and moved away , that was always a quiet little place
To many” gangsters “ who don’t give a sh1t about the old bill they do it in broad daylight now
Drug dealing , stabbing people acid attacks , it’s not just London either it’s everywhere ,
If any political party came out and said our first priority is to crush these little fcukers they would get my vote straight away |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Was talking about this on the dog walk this morning
Consensus was too few old bill, we’ve gone too soft on the perps and the do good lefties need to ask themselves have they achieved what they wanted whilst the hoi poloi right wingers need to ask if all the wealth they’ve amassed can’t be put to better use
In summary...... we’re fcuked |  |

1 , I dont know, thats why I said find some way .I have some ideas to improve parenting but not to stop someone walking out on their kids .
2 More opportunity ..Westfield etc
3 This spike is a gang war , gangs have been there for a while the war hasnt.
4.I dont ,I only hear and see bereaved mothers crying and wringing their hands on the TV ..never Dad .
If the dads are around and the kids are still killing each other we have a worse problem than we thought .. | | | |

Without putting the blame directly on teachers id say schools are failing as well.
I think weve got a generation of teachers that just tick boxes. [Post edited 7 May 2018 10:09]

Teachers need parents to back them , too many parents "going up the school" to stand on and more with a teacher, threatening legal action because their little soldier got a boll@@ocking . | | | |

Agree. The main responsibility is the parents but school have a massive influence as well. If the schools were better funded and managed it would help imo. | |

Too many police spend too much time on filling in forms. About 3 weeks ago a gang fight broke out in Shepherds Bush tube station. I phoned the Police as it was happening and spent 5 minutes giving details when the copper typed out what I was saying. There were about 15 youths involved. By the time I'd finished giving details the fight was over. Plod turned up about 10 minutes later. The first thing I was asked was 'can you give a description of those involved'....... no because I wasted 5 minutes on the phone telling you my name, location, contact number etc......
Then during last years carnival there was a riot at Shepherds Bush station with station staff hospitalised. The Police didn't turn up as 'we have to Police Holland Park station'. Holland Park was closed at the time. Five staff spent over 5 months off sick as a result. | | | |

I’m guessing the graph only displays a death that is classified as a murder. Britain’s murder rate is never reflected correctly due to other rulings. | |

Think the absence of uniformed police must have some impact? You can't keep cutting any public service year on year and not expect it to have a result? You can only sell all the police buildings in London once!
Those that are left run around like blue arsed flies trying to keep up with 999 calls.
May when home sec essentially told the police to cease stopping people unless they essentially had enough evidence to arrest, stops went down stops with an arrest went up so it was working right? Err no. | | | |

The mother of a victim this week says the police are to blame and they failed to protect her son, I can’t imagine being in her position but unless every civilian is issued with a policeman how could the police prevented this? |  |

The Equality Trust has tons of these graphs including violent crime probably.
The point is, inequality makes criminals, not single parents or statute books. | | | |

This graph refers to homicides. We are looking specifically at gang related stuff. Low wages don't come into it as I doubt if any of these toerags work. As for social inequality, I don't think these sort of people think deeply about it. They would be as they are in any societal situation. Their lives are based on gang culture in the USA and Jamaica. | | | |

Plenty of people on the wrong end of equality , working their nuts off to get on the right side without shooting or stabbing anyone .
Plenty of single parents doing a great job , plenty struggling because the absent parent has been replaced by other influences. | | | |

What you cant quantify is how many knives and guns were not carried because of the chance of a random stop and how many crimes did not happen because of it . Its a deterrent as well as a arrest tool. | | | |
