When you need to launch an app to flag dangerous area's surely any concept of a crime problem has gone too far:
https://twitter.com/TheHunchApp
"Help us fight back against #knifecrime and make our city safer. By downloading Hunch, the new early warning knife crime app. Free, simple and anonymous. Download now from Google Play & the App Store https://www.hunchapp.co.uk/ "
- How about a copying the Japanese Kōban system - lots of little local police stations to help communities feel safer.shapesalad
- ^ of course in UK Kōban wouldn't' last more than a week before graffiti, vandalised, fire bombed and officer beaten to a pulp...shapesalad
- I saw this vaguely in the papers earlier, inwarldy groaned and moved on, ignoring it. It's easy to make an app, so there's a retarded app for everything.detritus
- The majority of stabbings and shit are - like most violent crime - between already-knowns and within young social structures.detritus
- Oh, hold on - perhaps I misunderstood WHAT the app is. Hold on, I retract the above. Perhaps I shoudl have read the article, loldetritus
- Seems like an extension of the 'see it say it sorted' anti terrosit shit from the past decade, or neighbourhood watch from the decades beforehand..detritus
- ..just aimed at youth, comparative anonymity and away from curtain twitchers. I see nothing terribly bad here.detritus
- Although I can imagine it being a targetting vector for square kids at school "Oy, cant, let me see your apps - you got Hunch on there? I'LL STAB YOU"detritus
- I just wish LDN would start vigilante squads against scooter cunts - noisy food drivers included. Fuck those fucks.detritus
- thats the UK for you. we have to tolerate EVERYTHING without question. #keepcalmandcarryon more like #shutupandputuptrooperbill
- No, no, no - that's the fucking problem with the English -0 they whinge and moan and complain about everything.. but actually DO fucking nothing.detritus
- Very few people in this country actually stand up and say or do anything, so shit slides and everthing gets worse. Fucking Daily Mail reading classes, all.detritus
- I spend a lot of time walking the streets (slut that I am) and am basically a nutter because I get in arguments weekly, because I DO say shit to people.detritus
- I got called a 'white cunt' and spat at the other day because some moped fuck was being a dick - I was tired and perhaps should've backed down...detritus
- ..but instead I took him to task and didn't back down. He had to make a choice in the end - was his dickery worth it, or did he back down and fuck off?detritus
- So he fucked off. I got a warm smile from a person in an adjacent car (i was on foot), and then I carried on my way. Thankfully he was shit at spitting & misseddetritus
- If I ever stop posting on here, it'll be because I've been stabbed by some wretched cunt...detritus
