  • Long Report: Can boys do crime?

    It’s long believed that children are more of a victim of crime than its perpetrators, but a disturbing new trend in newsroom styles of reporting has insisted that kids are more prone to breaking the law – in increasingly violent, macabre, and sadistic ways – than ever before.

    It isn’t backed up by any evidence but it’s now a firm belief of some of those that speak over us using their matter-of-fact way of speaking in daily television, video, and podcast updates that are fed in ideas from University campuses in the UK.

    A chilling trend

    It’s an irresponsible trend fuelled by those fascinated by criminology but lacking a sufficient basis in its actual study, according to experts. This is no mere fad but a growing industry of accusations pumped, pulped and levelled against the most vulnerable in the population.

    “Can Boys Do Crime?”

    It’s true kids are roped in by clever people in unsuspecting ways, but there has not yet been a point of suggesting the spread of such malign influences from uncontrolled sources. “It’s simply not a crime wave yet”, said one Police Officer to me, at work in London.

    Telly dramas

    A narrative created by misguided writers paid a salary by equally misguided employers is something fake on the scene of our Journalism in the UK. It’s made for casual consumption and yet it spreads a toxicity into the thoughtful culture of the UK with ease.

    The need for it is slight comparable to the numbers that work on it in Police research. The hours of the day are better spent covering the crime rate rather than contributing fakes news to its study. This is an approach now being honed in America by concerned yet hardworking Officers dedicated to the task – and sticking to a clear mission.

    The truth is out there in the mix of things that are going on, but people are not prone to it as boys – or girls, for that matter. It’s simply not a proactive force in the life of a child. It may become one if another adult is involved in some nefarious way, but this too is unlikely.

  • Social media is social help, not mental harm

    Social media is known as being a development out of the Internet as a technology that was created to improve communication between people and even different countries. It’s taken on a greater relevance because of the development of software as applications that can be downloaded straight onto phones from App Stores.

    This widespread use is believed to be the possible reason why some people struggle with their mental health while using such platforms. It’s the engagement and interaction with everyday issues that those who feel unstable usually have difficulty with. We know that the mentally ill like to have coping mechanisms that keep their world feeling secure.

    The human mind is such a complex organ when it comes to illness and the struggles that people have in thinking to themselves and handling their lives. It goes deeper than feeling disorganised and it’s more relevant than what other people can say to you. This has therefore created a minefield when it comes to young people engaging with apps that can also provide answers to questions and are able to explore difficult concepts on a request.

    The advice from health professionals has been that engaging in self exploration has to be guided by a real human being and AI cannot substitute for that involvement. It’s also true that a social media environment is not as stable as a real encounter with other people. This is why some health professionals recommend email technology or a chat app that does not involve making friends randomly.

    For the majority of us, being able to contact others in fun and engaging ways is part of our modern living and is also integrated now into overall expectations. It’s also true that if we hear of the side effects of such activity, we believe that the same rules apply in terms of a remedy, and it usually should settle in the same ways. It’s not that society is cruel. It’s that we believe that a multitude of issues arise and are settled in the same ways but the same mode of living can continue on.

  • Life adds to itself over time

    The value of a city is relative to its people at any given moment. The past isn’t as pleasurable or intense as the present. This is what we know because of the current times and what it can offer and what it can take away. Our own fecklessness or dodging of reality can lead to a diminished return for everyone else.

    The lifestyle – or lived experience – in any walk of life is the sum total of what happens around us. This is what makes us feel optimistic or pessimistic about our lives. The potential or the decline of opportunity defines us. The increase or decrease of our own portion of it enables or disables us.

  • These streets need to be safe streets

    The refrain of the streets being our streets is felt by many in security sectors. They know that safety is built on particular things, and one is the access routes we have. These are regularly put under stress by criminal groups.

    Finding our way around is important to us.

    They’re used by emergency services, military personnel, and political actors, too, to varying degrees, but these are mainly ours. They represent our freedom. They make us feel at liberty.

    However confusing it may be, the routes we’ve got help us all to get somewhere. It’s a choice if we use it, and it’s a decision if we do harm to its use. It’s necessary to check these facts are true.

  • Sex is not always the same

    Most cultures of the world have safe ways of sex. The subcultures are the ones that diverge. These stay separate to our mainstream activity.

    The behaviour is self-determined and difficult to explain. It’s because it’s based on personal choices that trend in tandem with private reasons.

    The typical talking points of chastity, consent, or contraception don’t exist as straightforward terms. The point is sex and the alternative is non-participation in its group context.

    Keeping it together

    It may not be an ‘orgy’, but often the beliefs of those involved are shared in common.

    The murkier types are full of sadism, self-harm, and suicide that strike a raw note. This is because sex is mixed with non-sex matters and results in insidious harms.

    It’s not really a relationship or fun but more something else entirely.

    In some parts of the world political culture mixes with sex culture. It results in strange concepts of lifestyle and further social participation.

    Keeping it straight

    The usual opinion is sex happens between partners and away from prying eyes. The spread of pornography into our pockets has challenged such a perception.

    The separation of these things is still a standard that’s not always followed strictly.

    It remains a personal choice how these intersect and the issue of consent is more than just a matter of if. It’s sometimes a matter of how or if it comes up at all.

    Alternative views

    The basis of a sex culture in online activity such as discussion boards can make it detached from reality. It isn’t understood by those engaging in normal life.

    This means that people have their own expressions that are unique to themselves. These are kept aside. It’s a private issue if it matters or not.

  • MI5 has a niche but it’s mismanaged

    The UK’s foremost Intelligence body is in crisis. MI5 has come under severe rebuke for its employment issues.

    The most important arm of the military to assessing threat has lost its footing.

    The skills of those involved need to be human, now, and flow with the data.

    Any other concern is a threat to its existence. It’s also a threat to ours to be distracted. It must reform or face reform.

  • Welfare call: Mentally ill driver

    In a general welfare call, a member of the public claiming to be an MI5 Agent has been spotted in Reading driving.

    Any information relating to this individual is helpful. It should be passed onto a relevant public body for analysis, and care.

  • The UK crime deniers

    The plethora of attempts on business is startling. There are thousands of gangs seeking to leverage large profits. These are made up of middle class people. They plot against companies because they’re jealous. They do it because they hate life and anyone they meet.

    These gangs share the proceeds. They live in isolation. They’re an affront to us. They have a false superior attitude. They want to justify it. They want their record to be an equivalent to ours. The trouble is crime will never pay this way. It’s always a negative for us.

  • It’s an issue of choice with sex

    It’s usually a religious society who decide on sexual matters. As today is more secular less attention is paid to it. A law is tittle-tattle to lots of people. All behaviour is decided by decisions we make.

    The issue of an age of consent is never really settled. The importance is consent in any circumstance. There are rapes that take place in all age groups. It’s not a matter of another year or so.

    It’s a free choice. The reason that goes into it frames it for a lot of us. In a way, it’s how we seek to understand it that counts. A firmer handle on sex makes it safer for all those not so sure.

  • Long Report: Labour of love

    The nature of local living in the UK is centred on smallness. It’s a much more intimate, and volatile, setting than in London, let’s say. The pace of life is always a lot slower but it feels sped up by local happenings. However, we’re mistaken if we believe that things change so quickly.

    In my experience, a local community stays as a local community. It isn’t moved on so easily, and it constantly exerts its influence. The problems are those who seek to get in-between. These are the trouble makers who cause havoc in any local service or facility that’s available.

    The reasons

    The targets vary. In times past I’ve seen leisure centres, roadworks companies, and local authority’s targeted. They incite confusion and try to whip up a protest. It’s disruptive and actually anti-democratic, but their ways are so nefarious they’re tricky to track down.

    Until I reached moving my research to Reading, in Berkshire, I wasn’t able to make any progress. I still saw – and heard of – the same effects of their covert and perverse activities. It’s not the same as antisocial behaviour. It’s meant to distort and disrupt the local area.

    It was in this large town that I began to be able to track the actors that make efforts to interfere all over the place. They’re the sort that paint the town red, if you like, and make it a difficult place to live. They don’t back down and they’re difficult to keep in check.

    New builds

    A new construction project in a locality brings out these sorts of people. They have beliefs about “new” things and seek to take a fresh perspective on what it means for the area. This is what I was told, and I was informed because it presents an issue for developers.

    There’s a theory that such actors also have tactics. I’ve tried to track an issue with rodent infestations. There are indications that rats – alive or dead – are used in their activities. It isn’t clear why, albeit one theory is they play a role in a “Group Chat” style of play.

    The long game is working out what the target is. In some localities it will only be journalism that’s of interest since these people tag onto existing professions to find new material to work with. It may be the Channel crossings that loom large, or a new political figure.

    Finding them

    The idea is they use the local area to harass the local area. There’s a belief residue of antisocial behaviour is able to be utilised for this sort of activity. It’s not fully understood because they can also present an aggressive sort of behaviour. It’s said they take off gypsy tropes, too.

    There’s an obvious fact they have to live somewhere in a town or small city, but it’s not as obvious where. I’ve located a few residences before that might of been used as “Dwellings” for these individuals, but because of their transient lifestyle it’s hard to be definitive.

    There’s also research which indicates they have symbols or significant interests that represent who they are. Usually it comes across as an obsession and it also involves hoarding. It makes for a difficult life to come across, and a difficult case to have to piece together.
