VIDEO: Are crime maps welcome in your area?
2:02pm Friday 15th August 2008
Comments (114) Have your say »
CRIME maps showing where and how often offences are committed could be seen on the internet from next month.
The Met is currently testing electronic crime mapping software and plans to launch the system in September, after a technical review.
Interactive maps will sit alongside monthly crime statistics published on the Met police website and will provide details of the number, rate and geographical location of defined crime types on a ward, borough and pan-London basis.
A test map can be viewed online at maps.met.police.uk.
By clicking on a borough, you can see the figures for burglary, robbery and vehicle crime and comparison figures from previous years.
According to the map the crime rate in the Bromley, Lewisham and Greenwich boroughs is average for London.
And Bexley is below average.
Crime maps have been used in the US - notably in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles - where police departments show incidents at a house-to-house level.
News Shopper went to Burnt Ash Hill in Lee - the scene of the murder of teenager Jimmy Mizen on May 10 - to find out what people think about crime maps.
Watch the video to hear their views.

How about applying the same principles to the judiciary? Why not have a website that members of the public can log into which lists all of our magistrates and all of our judges. Upon clicking on their name, it would reveal a list by type (ie. burglary, robbery, assault) of the cases that they had been responsible for when someone had been convicted - and the sentence that was handed down. That way we could immediately see where the weak links in the criminal justice system are. We'd know exactly who is releasing the criminals back into our community to commit further offences............
....and exactly who was responsible for the Fear of Crime' in a particular area.
This would have the fantastic added benefit of holding a number of politicians to account, if our experience here in Bromley is anything to go by. You'd be amazed at the number of magistrates that are local councillors - he who speaks with a forked tongue, etc, etc!
What a fantastic idea, if I may say so myself!

How about Judge - Top Trumps?
For each Judge they could have categories such as;
Age
Years in the Job
Salary
Cost to Bribe
Number of community service hours sentenced
Time spent at Lunch
Number of Perversions
Death Sentences Awarded
and
(in)Sanity Level
The kids could play against each other and learn which judges to avoid at the same time.

I think that we should be focusing on what will improve the effectiveness of the police - the police already use crime mapping data themselves in a very sophisticated manner, so using it is nothing new to them and will unlikely be of any benefit in reducing crime. We will end up stigmatising areas and the only people to really benefit will be the reorters on newspapers who will be able to whip up emotions and create a mob mentality - and possibly the crafty Estate Agents who will raise prices in an area if it has below average crime.
I think the real thing we need to do is make the judiciary more open and accountable - the Police can target a high crime area time and again, nicking the criminals, only for the courts to fail to hand down any effective deterrent.

What a waste of money, money that could be spent on policing. As has already been said, the police already use crime mapping data themselves in a very sophisticated manner. Use the money elsewhere in policing. Without any computer data or police expertese I can quite easily map the crime areas - Lewisham, Croydon, Southwark........

aw never mind, same mentality
Did it ever cross your mind that people really do find you and 'Sis' boring ?
did it ever cross your mind that people really do find bullying as unacceptable in adults as they do in children
of course people who resort to trying to bully others usually have no insight into why they feel the need to behave like that, however there are many reasons, obviously as we are complete strangers i don't know why you feel the need but for example -
the bully might have problems with their family, might be bullied themselves, might have no friends and/or feel inadequate so want to make others feel as bad as they do, have low self-esttem and get a feeling of power from bullying, want to look big by joining in with other bulliess, and/or the bully's parents had no parenting skills and never taught their offspring morals and manners
You really are a bore
you really are a bully
Not bullying
actually your behaviour is well-recognised as bullying
not racist, not sexist, just hard facts you may not like.
the fact you obviously don't like is that your behaviour is no different to that of bullies in a school playground
A border line commie, socialist freaking bore. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !
oh name-calling - that's what bullies do, you've just absolutely proved i'm right :)

Casssie you just could not be more wrong. Totally wrong about me.

Perhaps you should practise what you preach, you told someone they haven't the wits to know what ad hom means. Thats bullying by your own standards , is it not.

aw bless, a truly pitiful attempt at the old 'blame the victim' tactic so loved by bullies
merely calling everyone who disagrees with you
the simple point which eludes you with such astonishing success is the difference between disagreeing with someone's viewpoint on an issue and mindless ad hom attacks
or points out the irrefutable fact that you're boring
oh dear, another very simple point that eludes you, ie whether anyone is or isn't boring is of course entirely subjective...
so you see, or rather if only you could see, while you must presumably think you are incredibly interesting others find you incredibly boring, not to mention incredibly stupid and lacking in the most basic manners :)
however, if we all spent our time telling everyone we thought was boring / stupid / ignorant that they are boring / stupid / ignorant every comment board would simply be full of posts saying 'your boring / stupid / ignorant'...
while i can see that you might find that most interesting and stimulating, to the majority of people over the age of five it would be mindnumbingly boring

and whenever you dont like a post
it isn't a matter of 'not liking' posts it is a matter of ojecting to attempts to bully
you use the bulling, racist, or sexist card.
er no...you must be confusing me with another poster
When you cannot get your own way you both winge like spoiled children
er no again...you've just made that up in your head, you seem to have forgetten that anyone can go to the top of this board, read through the comments and see that i merely commented on the story and was then mindlessly personally insulted
How can anyone bully you when you dont know me, and you also choose to read posts.
sorry don't understand that, is it gang-slang?
Perhaps you should practise what you preach
i do...well i don't practise but i do practice
you told someone they haven't the wits to know what ad hom means. Thats bullying by your own standards , is it not
no it isn't, i'm all for bullies getting a taste of their own medicine, i'm just throwing back at the bullies what they chose to start dishing out :)

Or do they in your twisted mind.

How about applying the same principles to the judiciary? Why not have a website that members of the public can log into which lists all of our magistrates and all of our judges. Upon clicking on their name, it would reveal a list by type (ie. burglary, robbery, assault) of the cases that they had been responsible for when someone had been convicted - and the sentence that was handed down. That way we could immediately see where the weak links in the criminal justice system are. We\'d know exactly who is releasing the criminals back into our community to commit further offences............ ....and exactly who was responsible for the Fear of Crime\' in a particular area. This would have the fantastic added benefit of holding a number of politicians to account, if our experience here in Bromley is anything to go by.

That way we could immediately see where the weak links in the criminal justice system are not defending (as it were) magistrates/judges but the sentencing guidelines council and panel also have a lot to answer for

Cassie Answer me this Question... if magistrates/judges as it were" we faced with a case where a drink driver was behind the wheel of a car & knocked over a young child & killed them out right! Do you think that because of guidelines the magistrate/judge should be lenient or sympathetic to that driver for taking the life of that child because he/she chose to drink drive?
There are judges out there that will throw the book at the person responsible! & Judges who just decide to give the person responsible for that crime a slap on the wrist & ill meet ya in the pub for a pint later to say thanks for the light sentence! **** to the guidelines! I say only employ the Judges who have the balls to throw the book at the Criminals of our Society! Over crowded prisons? Then build more! Simple!

not too sure about mandatory same-for-every-case, i feel that as a principle of justice each case should be treated individually - perhaps we need appropriate minimums
i'd agree that far too much leniency is shown to repeat, and violent, offenders
really the whole sentencing and prison regimes need a complete overhaul

no but there are many factors which have to be, or should be, taken into account, eg how much over the legal limit, culpability etc
i see on the sentencing guidelines council website they've just issued their definitive guidelines re causing death by driving, it includes drink-driving, careless driving etc, effective 4 august
i've had a v v quick look, haven't read it properly but there are lots of ins and outs mags/judges are supposed to consider when working out the sentence, the link to those new guidelines is on this page

yes! the rank incompetence of this government is shocking and obviously dangerous for society, why they are not being held to account for this i don't know

Typical socialist aren't you " dont do as I do, do as I say "
as above, i was merely replying to comments made to me, ie it wasn't me keeping on it was those who kept posting to me first...
a simple enough sequence to grasp but i'm not particularly surprised you are having great difficulty understanding it

Definitely a number of severe mental health issues going on there cassie. And why do you find it so hard to believe that more than one person can find you boring? Well reality check, most people find you a tedious bore. Or in your language btw you're a sad bore :)

sure some counselling will help you with them
And why do you find it so hard to believe that more than one person can find you boring?
why do you find it so hard to understand the meaning of the word 'subjective'
Well reality check, most people find you a tedious bore
most people find you a really stupid little bully
Or in your language btw you're a sad bore
in your own language you're a thicko :)

cassie,
Get some treatment - they may release you one day. I expect you've bored the other inmates to death by now. 'Death by cassie' - you really wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy!
