although this is predominantly a rave site I don’t see whats so “strange” about discussing how crime affects everybody – and the issue of young London criminals bringing crime and the fear of crime to South East and Eastern England is a big problem.
Usually its me starting these threads – I once wanted to be a crime reporter and still read every bit of crime news I see.
I have always felt that the best way to stop crime is not always by enforcement (after all it only works after the crime has happened) but by frank and honest reporting and discussion as to why crime happens and why people commit it – we can’t afford to shy away from discussing this as its “bad news” or “too depressing”
Also threads like this if handled correctly at least might make the cops and criminal psychologists reading these sites realise that the bulk of ravers are in fact decent human beings with values and morals….
Bear in mind the Police teams tasked to analyse our sites often associate drug users and addicts with these sorts of horrendous crime, particularly with the 90s problems of burned out ravers turning to addictive class As and committing crime to feed habits… thats how a lot of them justify stuff like using greater force against parties…
