You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state. Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy. There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc. The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities. And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime. And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics. Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it. And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders? This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence. Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this. Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it, Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.

It seems we have to accept a certain level of crime as normal now… phone thefts, car thefts, parcels stolen from doorsteps…. they are just recorded as statistics. When it’s invasive ( numerous home invasions in my street recently), one reported on the forum recently, Evri delivery had his car stolen, the man attacked in PRP a couple of weeks ago, reports of violent and threatening youths also in PRP… it goes on and on. And now this poor woman brutally assaulted in daylight on a busy street. NONE of this is acceptable. There should be ZERO tolerance for such criminal acts. There is no denying the police have too much to deal with and not enough resources. It’s disgusting. It’s a misappropriation of public funds. More should be invested on our police force.
