Glasgow used to be stab capital of Europe until the late noughties, when they adopted a different approach and reduced it considerable.
London's stabbing is just off the chain, even with tougher sentence- perhaps they just feel these kids in ganags are mainly killing themselves..


That is what i think as well, they will get tired of killing each other.

You are comparing ‘SCOTLAND’ with ‘LONDON’?
Are you for real?

Maybe it’s a good time to remind ourselves:
Country : Scotland & ENGLAND

What you are doing is akin to comparing ABUJA (FCT) with GHANA.

My Boss cheesy... Who am I to argue with you? England and Scotland both pays same minimum wage for all sectors. But the standard of confortable living you can get with 350pounds in Scotland is worth nothing in England.

No be argument matter.
You are potentially passing wrong information.
Don’t compare apples and lemons.

Are you telling me that £350 in Edinburgh or Glasgow (Scotland) will give me a ‘comfortable’ living than in Hull or Leicester or Bradford or Brighton or Cornwall (England)?

Really?

You know what your ‘problem’ is?
You seem to think that England = London and London = England

Even in your Scotland, £350 in Inverness vs £350 in Glasgow no be mates.

I agree with you bro. You are very right. But my conclusion is " Most things in Scotland are cheaper than England ". The equivalent town/cities/capitals in Scotland/England, no be mate. Angel, how the heat weather for your side?

Oh well.. they will run out of who to kill or the black community will start taking some responsibilities.

Black life doesn't matter in this case, if this was white killing blacks we will witness huge protest and violent demonstration in London and other part of the UK

Will get some links up later. But i heard they moved it from being just a police issue to a public health issues with strategies/investments for employment, social services, education etc

The Scottish approach was quite conventional at first. “The police played a central role in the beginning,” explains Christine Goodall, who along with two other surgeons founded Medics Against Violence in 2008, a campaign group which works with health professionals, law enforcement, social services and other bodies to thwart violent behaviour.

“They campaigned really hard to get the legislation around knife crime changed so people would be more likely to get a mandatory sentence. There was also, at the outset, a lot of stop and search.”

The average sentence for carrying a knife in Scotland has tripled, from four months in 2005-06 to an average of 13 months in 2014-15.

The issues, says Goodall, were concentrated in certain areas, particularly around Glasgow. Using intelligence from police operations, the VRU identified those people most likely to offend and asked them to voluntarily attend the sheriff’s court. “They didn’t have to come but they were encouraged to by community police, teachers and social workers and a lot of them did come,” says Goodall.

“The police had mapped all the gangs and when people got there they saw their own pictures up in the court. The session started off with a warning: ‘We know who you are and if you carry on with this lifestyle we’re going to come down on you really hard. We’re going to arrest you and we’ll arrest the rest of the gang. You will be going to prison if this carries on.’”

But at that point the intervention at the court took a more creative and holistic approach.

“We spoke about the injuries we see as a result of the violence and had a mum talk about losing her son. That really hit home,” explains Goodall.

Finally, they were offered a way out. “There was help with housing, relocation, employment and training. They were given a number to call if they wanted to take the offer up. Huge numbers of them did so, were put into the programme, and are no longer in the gang lifestyle.”

I think they invited the New York police in to help with ideas, They lowered the expulsion of unruly kids amongst other things . It was the combined strategy that worked. Glasgow used to be a very dangerous place but now the crime rate has been lowered drastically.

No I don't, haven't tried Monzo in naija. But if it's the debit card (not prepaid), I think it should work. I've used Starling's debit card in Abuja with no issues.

regarding control you cant blame them....... The system has gradually taken the power to discipline from parents . If you beat your child social service will not let you rest .
