ImmigrationIsNotACrime<p>While street violence in the UK is a tiny fraction of comparable violence in the USA there has recently been a lot of attention on knife crime. A series of incidents has shocked many people. The main group of victims of these crimes are young black men. Which is ironic as this is precisely the group targeted by police and vilified by newspapers for these crimes. </p><p>There is also a lot of attention in the media given to the negative aspects of our youth spending so much time online. </p><p>What is often ignored is the lack of options for young people who might want to go out on an evening and meet other young people. And what is rarely mentioned is that the UK used to have very strong youth services that provided clubs and venues where young people could meet safely. </p><p>For well over a decade, the government has been cutting these services.</p><p><a href="https://ymcans.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/ymca-on-the-ropes-report-A4.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ymcans.org.uk/wp-content/uploa</span><span class="invisible">ds/ymca-on-the-ropes-report-A4.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukpolitics</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/youthclubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youthclubs</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/knifecrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knifecrime</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/wellbeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wellbeing</span></a></p>
Adam Dalliance<p>Green's friend's friend was stabbed once. "Toughness" doesn't solve crime. Care solves crime. Youth services reduce crime, not longer sentences. Reducing inequality stops crime. There should be a councilor in every school.</p><p>Reform wants to stop and search people, and the audience seem to like that. He doesn't care if it's racist he just wants to stop and search. He's concerned about a decline in law and order and will get tough. Also drugs are bad.</p><p>Libs reckon community policing, so more cops only the friendly kind.</p><p>Conservatives reckon if you ignore the new modern computer crimes then there's less crime now. You can't get stabbed in a hacking, can you? Labour areas are more crime-ridden they reckon (not noting it's because they are poor areas). They want more of the friendly cops with names too. </p><p>Labour are sad that young people are frightened and point out Con cut cops in order to then re-introduce them. They also think that if you know the names of the cops then maybe they won't beat you or do racist harassment.</p><p>Wales points out is poverty, and hopelessness which leads to crime. Devolve police stuff to Wales and they'll do it better locally.</p><p>Scots reckon they're not the worst for stabbings in the union, and that investing in reducing poverty gives people a hope that stops them doing all the stabbing. Westminster does not offer any hope so folks might as well do the stabbing.</p><p><a href="https://boing.world/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukpol</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>election</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/debate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debate</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/knifeCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knifeCrime</span></a></p>
