  1. But we already have much more CCTV than the rest of Europe, along with one of the highest rates of violent crime. I don't think CCTV really does jack shit to be honest. Also, tougher sentences don't seem to work as a deterant - just look at America. A larger police presence might do the trick - but surely we should be looking at why people are kicking each others heads in in the first place, and trying to stop it more at the source?
  2. But where is the evidence that these measures reduce violent crime?
  3. Where is the proof that things like tougher sentencing, more cctv etc. help lower violent crime? Does the death sentence (a rather tough punishment in my view) in the US lower crime there? Does the fact that we have more CCTV than the rest of Europe put together help lower crime here? I think the main problem, as has been noted, is our pathalogical fear of crime. For examle, whilst we do have one of the highest rates of violoent crime in Europe, so does Norway, which is consitently found to have one of the happiest populations in the world. Fear of crime and actual crime are not always linked. Tougher sentencing, more cctv etc. seems like a sensible, common sense answer to the lowering of crime, but I am yet to be convinced by an argument that it actually works.
  4. YouTube - Monkey Dust - Human Tomato hybrid
  5. Does anybody know if he's the same 'Jezza' that used to do a late night radio show on Virgin a few years ago?
  6. just managed to get weekend camping tickets from nme.com, could give there a try
  7. That explains alot. I was wondering for ages why Joe suddenly dissapeared. As for Joe vs. Joe, my money would be on Mangle. Don't know why just like the cut of his jib more.
  8. 23, originally from the sticks, now at Aberdeen uni. So does anybody intend to spend the rest of their lives living here? cos i sure dont want to.
  9. My older sister told me as soon as she found out, i think i kinda had an inkling anyway though.
  10. But will every person who commits a murder do it again of they are released? Doesn't seem likely
  11. I saw Chicken Man up at Aberdeen Uni the other day, wondered what he might be up to. Getting a degree perhaps? But what in?
  12. The letters page is fucking class, also a big fan of major misunderstanding. Not got the new annual yet is it worth getting then?
