The news item quoted is a Monday morning scrabbling around for news story. Back in 2003 Prof Jonathan Shepherd of did some work on CCTV and he found the same thing, that cameras in our High Street do not deter violent attacks (most attacks are usually made by people under the influence of alcohol so they don’t notice, or don’t care about the cameras.) However Prof Shepherd did find that the severity of injuries to the victim was reduced when CCTV was present. (basically the police got to the crime scene more quickly to break up the fight!) So they do have some non indended benefit

Clayton - they have obviously nicked your idea - which was pretty cool. Unfortunately they have made a pretty poor knock off video version. Your pictures are great and much better than the video. Why their video fails, is its lack of attention to detail. No skinhead would be seen dead wearing bracers like those in the video, they are way to wide. However your pictures get the feel of skinhead and suedhead fashion and mix it successfuly with funky Lagos. For fashion subcultures attention to detail is everything ... not just any polo shirt but a Fred Perry ...not just any old pair of Dr Martins but ox blood lace ups...
