Why is CCTV Data Compliance so essential?

A 15 year old boy was killed in front of shocked commuters on Thurs 25 Mar inside Victoria station in London.

The boy was 15 year old Sofyen Ghailan. He had been involved in an ongoing knife battle between rival gangs. He was attacked by a mob during evening rush hour on Thurs and chased into the packed ticket hall cornered and repeatedly stabbed in front of shocked commuters.

His attackers fled leaving 2 knives behind at the scene. The incident was captured on CCTV and there have been 20 arrests. Some of the gang were girls and the gang is of Somali or Afro-Caribbean origin.

This again highlights the lack of respect for life that some have in todays society and a lack grasp of the problem and how to deal with it. This has moved the problem to a new level with gangs apparently care free in there pursuit of street justice.

Recent figures released show that Homicides (murder manslaughter and infanticide) fell by 125 to 648 in 2008/09 the lowest figure recorded by police in 20 years.

The main reason for this fall however is not that the streets are becoming a safer place it is a combination of medical advances and technology.

Paramedics are better trained and carry more life saving equipment than ever. They have fast cars motorbikes and helicopters at their disposal. Ambulances carry ever more equipment allowing operations to be conducted roadside in order to stabilise a casualty. The proliferation of Mobile phones and town centre CCTV are also cited as contributory in the early warning of serious incidents.

Despite this fall the figures for serious violence. Serious woundings increased from 12,531 in 1997 to 15,122 in 2007/08 There has been a sharpe rise in the number of street shootings in London by young people in a bid to “earn respect”
