Look over there! Please think of community relations and not stopping crime!
Priti Patel is keeping a very low profile, As soon as Boris falls she will pounce on the leadership, She is just as bad as Boris, but much better at hiding it…
We know what areas of the community are more likely to be the victims of violent crime and knife enabled crimes, these same areas of the community are also more likely to commit this violence and carry knives. Crime mostly happens within communities and it’s always poorer communities that suffer from these crimes the most, this also means black, brown, and other ethnic minorities. Policing efforts should be targeted there because they have limited resources and as far as I recall mostly they are successful at reasonable rates when they do target specific communities. If you want to reduce stabbings in the short term or deal with an acute issue, that is the thing to do.
