Mugging (1st March - Dulwich Park)

[mockney piers]

Everyone should make an exception for the Life of Brian.

Anyway, I've taken the thread off topic, apologies.

I'm a very naughty boy

Mockney is very naughty for not closing his font tag.

Cab...you have no need to apologise for your comments or your take on events. What matters is what can we do as a community to reduce the likelihood of something like this happening again in our community. At the end of the day it has nothing to do with class, affluence etc (poor people are just as miffed as anyone when it happens to them).

Use resources like the SNT to make sure problems are targetted and take the advice of others in regards to the value of the phone a teen may carry etc.

As I said before, the excellent SNT of Nunhead and Peckham Rye (headed by sgnt Neil Cooke) has had real success in tailoring local policing to local crime hotspots (including teen on teen robbery). Make sure the Dulwich SNT do the same.

It's a big area / um, people mainly post about crime on here

[Keef]

Um, I disagree that it's particularly big. I was simply responding to someone who said they couldn't believe this could happen in this lovely area, in the lovely park. That struck me as a little naive.

I will be attending the Safer Neighbourhood Panel on 9 March and will be ask for this to be on the agenda.

The Community Council meeting on 8 March (this Tuesday) will be at the Picture Gallery and focusing on Village ward. Reports from Safer Neighbourhood Teams.

Sadly I suspect that crime will increase over the next year or so.

And young men are disproportionately at risk of mugging for phones etc.

Really upsetting for your son.

I'm v pleased to hear that one of the perpertators was caught.

[Trevor Moore]

I will be going to the SNT meeting tomorrow evening and will raise this, then post back.

Does The Administrator have a speech impediment.

How about reinstating the old-fashioned notion of park keepers? I believe the wardens in Dulwich park are responsible for other areas too, which dilutes their presence there.

There is a much more obvious presence of park keepers at the Horniman, for example, and it would be interesting to compare the " incident" rates.

Dulwich College has this afternoon issued a letter to parents warning them that there have been several pupils who have been mugged in the park recently. They recommend all students to travel through the park as quickly as possible and always in pairs or groups. And obviously not to resist if anyone demands their phone/iPod etc...
