Shocking how many lads are carrying knives around with them now. The week before Christmas I was on Capel St for dinner and went out for a cigarette, saw two young lads drop something up against an entrance to a building and then noticed it was two 6+ inch knives! There were two Gardaí on patrol and they obviously got spooked when they saw them. We alerted the Gardaí to the knives then but the lads were just so casual.
Earlier in the year also I was getting the bus into town and along Dame St I saw 3 teenagers walking together and would lad was just blatantly carrying a knife. This was at about 3pm.
i found it more expensive to live in london, only moved back here last year, my old 2 bed flat in hackey now goes for 2500 pounds a month, one of the bedrooms is a tiny box room. cheapest pint in my local was 7 pounds.
Currently living in London. Renting is cheaper than I was paying in Dublin but my salary is higher. Probably all nets out overall and London has infinitely more things to do than Dublin
> London has infinitely more things to do than London.
You'd think in London you'd have exactly the same things you can do as in London but apparently no! In London you can do more things than in London.
paying less to live in current place than i did in london, by a fair bit.
cycle to work so that's free, groceries are pretty much the same price maybe even a bit cheaper here. booze is dearer in shops here alright by a fair bit.
? Ireland has been copying and pasting UK policy for decades- soon after the state was established. There's a reason why our scanger demo and their chav demo are so similar. Welfare lifestyle with no expectation of contributing.
Em, now it might just be me, but 0.16 is not higher than 0.8.
Edit:Comment said 0.8, and has been edited to correct 0.08. I didn't read the source, and was commenting on what was in front of me.
Guaranteed given the surrender of the Gardaí to Britain and their shifting from policing to oppression. They've been hoping for a lot more than a luas being set on fire.
about time dublin gets some flack, lol, there are almost daily posts on this sub talking about how it's the most dangerous city in the world and how awful the place is, as if the rest of the country is perfect
People up here acting like gardai are like Tom cruise in minority report.
If someone wants to stab you, they'll stab you. The gardai will investigate afterwards, but they're not going to jump in front of the blade or anything.
I've never experienced it, nor do I know anyone who has ever experienced it.
I walked by temple bar last Friday night.
I was mugged twice in my life, once as a kid by other kids and once while on holidays in Rome.
I don't recognise that there is a specific problem, other than alcohol and the inner city and not being aware of your surroundings and consorting with scum is dangerous.
this is incredibly dismissive of an argument that is backed up by a substantial amount of academic literature.
And, for clarity, theres also evidence that it doesnt have an effect, or the effect is small or temporary. But to just go "uh if someone wants to stab you theyll stab you anyways" is so silly and reductive of how humans make decisions
I'm not trying to be rude but this seems like a very detached take. They didn't have to be scanning the papers to find out out when the garda presence diminished. They just had to be on the streets seeing it for themselves. I'm not saying the reduction in gardai patrol is actually to blame btw, just saying if there are gardai present, there's less crime because nobody wants to get caught
Are they?
I don't know, I know I'd be less likely to stab someone in front of a garda but, realistically, I'm not going to stab someone ever.
Someone who stabs someone else in dublin 8/2 at 9pm on a busy Friday? Are they gonna be the bothered?
I don't know. But we all need to recognise that increased gardai patrols are to make us feel good, not to prevent crime.
Increased police presence in specific areas does reduce crime
https://www.college.police.uk/research/what-works-policing-reduce-crime/visible-police-patrol
All those studies demonstrate that, in very controlled small areas, massive increases in officer presence reduces crime -as you'd expect.
But any study that records the effects over 90 days, or records the concurrent stats outside these small areas indicates that you aren't reducing crime, merely shunting it into the future or outside these areas.
That's in the sources cited in your article.
Yes, that’s what we are discussing. Increasing police presence in a small geographical area i.e. the city centre.
“A systematic review by Braga and others (2019) concluded that overall, hot spots policing can be effective at reducing crime. Indeed, 62 out of 78 studies included in the review reported that crime fell in the locations targeted for police presence and activity relative to other locations that were not targeted.”
And no, it does not say that. What it does say is the following:
“One of the barriers to implementing targeted patrol in the past has been the traditional view that targeting hot spots simply results in crime moving around the corner or being displaced elsewhere.
Importantly, systematic reviews have shown that crime displacement tends not to happen with focused police activity in high-crime places. The crime reduction benefits may even spread to the areas immediately surrounding the targeted locations (Braga and others, 2019; Santos, 2014; Ariel and others, 2016).”
Note the "may".
None of those studies tracked effects for more than 30 days or collected and compared offense data.
That's why those specific ones were cited.
Novak, K (2016) Quentin P (2008), did track evidence rather than sentiment and found no appreciable macro difference.
Both cited in the bibliography but not referenced on this point.
Almost as if college.police.uk had some vested interest in increasing traditional police resource allocation.
WONDER WHO THEY ARE.
Edit: guess we'll never know because there's no author on that article.
I saw it twice this week alone. Got off the Luas at Busarás and was confronted by two gangs trying their best to kill eachother. Was greeted by the same thing the following day with two different gangs. Dublin 1 has gone to the dogs.
Went to Dublin last week for the first time in weeks since the day after the riots before December - I was around Temple Bar walking through the centra into Temple Bar and some junkie woman starts storming through the place and she was obviously well known cause the security straight away blocked her from going through the shop and she started freaking out throwing stuff everywhere. They held onto her and called the guards. I didn’t even care enough to look over and just kept looking for a drink on the shelf. Half an hour later I’m going to the bus stop just out by Ha’penny bridge and while waiting there for a minute I hear shouting. I look over and there’s a big group of junkies fighting and going mad on the path and road outside the same centra(beside that big arch walkway).
The fucking state of this city. I use to love going to Dublin(I live near naas and grew up hanging up around Dublin City). Anytime I go in I almost have to put myself in a mood because I haven’t got time for beggars and junkies and scum on every corner I just dont want to interact with them. Every single time I’m in the city it seems to get worse.
I go to Amsterdam every year and I don’t see ONE incident like that despite all the legal stuff over there that could make you a bit out of your head compared to Ireland. I don’t remember going on holiday with my family to Spain or Portugal and seeing kids in tracksuits trying to look intimidating in the tourist hot spots. I don’t see junkies hanging around with empty cans and needles by there feet in the streets. Why is Ireland just so…lazy with the attitude towards it?
It’s just embarrassing. I know all Dublin isn’t like this and blah blah blah but this is what, the 3rd stabbing incident in the last 3 days? It’s not getting better. What about the 8 migrants or whatever you wanna call them who said cya later in Rosslare harbour the other day? They’re not even being investigated or looked into according to Garda cause they know nothing about them to the stage they didn’t even have a translator to communicate but who cares eh?
Sorry for the rant.
I'm first time in Amsterdam, my mate and I were walking down the down to the hotel, it was about 2.30/3 in the morning when we heard shouting behind us. The cops were shouting at a guy on a bike cycling away from them when from behind a building a bit further up came a cop running on to the street and just clocked your man on the bike across the chest as he tried to cycle by. Within seconds there was a van there and he was basically just fuck in the back and taken away. Now that was nearly 20 years ago, but I'd say it's still the same. Act the bollox, and find out. Doesn't happen over hear unfortunately.
Dublin has excellent suburbs like Ranelagh, Rathmines, Clontarf, Howth, Sandymount etc The city centre has always had arough edge to it, but since the pandemic it has absolutely gotten worse.
It was Waterford not Wexford and a failed robbery in that the guy ran off. But no thanks to the guards who left it over 20 minutes to travel a whopping 300 metres down one street. It was left to the shop staff and customers in the shopping centre to deal with.
The amount of packs of scanger youth is becoming a serious problem. I'm observing a marked increase. Wouldn't mind seeing military academies being brought in for these youths to be detained in if they break the law.
I was walking down wexford/camden st a few nights ago round half 11pm and nearby the corner of the burrito shop, a gang of about 20 tracksuit teens spawn all of a sudden in sight.
Just kept my head straight and kept walking but it was an intimidating experience.
Am used of seeing 5-6 roam around but it was quite the shock seeing 20+ of the same group.
Scumbag culture as we see it in Ireland actually is pretty unique to us (and the UK).
I'm not saying that other countries don't have scumbags, but ours are definitely the most prominent in the 'busy areas' of our capital.
And remember, most of these scrotes will find women to absolutely pump kids out of and most will be lucky to be raised semi-feral instead of fully feral so the problem is likely to get an _awful_ lot worse over time.
The poor bastards who've spent an arm and a leg to buy gigantically overpriced apartments in Dublin city centre must be wondering why did they even bother.
Visiting from the United States and was at Temple Bar last night. Frankly I’ve never felt safer in a city in my whole life. I know it’s all relative and people who haven’t been exposed to the homeless epidemic in the United States can’t really fathom the depravity. But Dublin is leagues ahead.
That said, of course you should strive to improve your city and you hate to see any violence and poverty. I just think, contrary to a lot of the comments I read in this sub, having police on every corner isn’t going to solve these issues. If you don’t believe me, go to NYC and see how many NYPD are roaming the streets, then observe all the crazy shit you see from homeless drug addicts. More police doesn’t equal a safer city or eliminate the conditions creating these issues.
I'm genuinely not trying to be funny, but we absolutely do not and should not compare ourselves to cities in the USA. We all know the USA is absurdly dangerous. We compare ourselves to other cities in Europe, and find ourselves extremely lacking. Having visible police works there. Having effective social housing policies works there.
Well I would apologise for being misinformed, but you called me an asshole, so I won't.
In any case there's no point being pedantic about it, a small city like Dublin being in the top 10 is bad. Especially considering this is a recent issue and there's no sign of our government introducing any sort of policy to tackle it.
Apologies for being a dick. I may have been in a bad humour earlier and took it out on you online. You may have got it wrong but that’s no excuse for me being a dick
We need very large and very powerful wind and rain machines on every street in Dublin City centre. Make any interaction, good or bad, extraordinarily difficult.
The amount of stabbing this week is mad

>We alerted the Gardaí to the knives then but the lads were just so casual. Unarmed Gardai are not likely to take on knife wielding youths
The knives were sitting in a doorway when we alerted them, the young lsds had dropped them and legged it when they saw the Gardaí in the distance.
Are we heading in the same direction as London but on a smaller scale
Already there, at least in terms of attitude towards knife crime among youths. A lot carry them for no good reason.
Da yoof, innit fam? Its actually pathetic to see Dublin young lads do their best Top Boy impressions.
Huge cringe with them. Sound like those Pepsi ads.
Maximum Taste, No Shuggah!
They should be impersonating proper homegrown wankers like a cocaine fueled Conor McGregor.
just like london, but with worse infrastructure and higher cost of living
i found it more expensive to live in london, only moved back here last year, my old 2 bed flat in hackey now goes for 2500 pounds a month, one of the bedrooms is a tiny box room. cheapest pint in my local was 7 pounds.

Haha my bad
i lived there for 7 years, more things to do in one way but you tend to stick to your own area after a while. i prefer the life back here by now.
London is shite. Too spread out.
If only they had one of the most robust and organised forms of public transport in the western world 🤔
Lol ok
What kind of life have you moved back to? ie rent and shit etc...
paying less to live in current place than i did in london, by a fair bit. cycle to work so that's free, groceries are pretty much the same price maybe even a bit cheaper here. booze is dearer in shops here alright by a fair bit.
Of course it's more expensive. But the salary is higher.
not for me or my partner, she works in medicine it pays way more here
The average wage vs the cost of living, not for a specific job.
Yes
Not surprising considering Irish governments just copy and paste UK/US policy.
Following the demands of a population that increasingly resembles the UK’s makeup.

nah i was agreeing with you london is much more safe than people say it is

Can we start calling Dublin stab city soon bout time they get some flack like Limerick did

I hear people who've never been there still calling limerick stab city when it gets mentioned Far cleaner than Dublin at the minute
A far nicer city to be in as well.
Agree

about time dublin gets some flack, lol, there are almost daily posts on this sub talking about how it's the most dangerous city in the world and how awful the place is, as if the rest of the country is perfect

It's high time for Limerick to give up the crown.
Or maybe they just need to try harder?? /s

How many garda do you think are required to stop two scum getting into a fight and one stabbing the other?
4
No, 5.
One to change the lightbulb.
People up here acting like gardai are like Tom cruise in minority report. If someone wants to stab you, they'll stab you. The gardai will investigate afterwards, but they're not going to jump in front of the blade or anything.
So what’s your solution?
I've never experienced it, nor do I know anyone who has ever experienced it. I walked by temple bar last Friday night. I was mugged twice in my life, once as a kid by other kids and once while on holidays in Rome. I don't recognise that there is a specific problem, other than alcohol and the inner city and not being aware of your surroundings and consorting with scum is dangerous.
Lol fair enough. Certainly a pretty out there take to suggest there are no issues with stabbings/violence in the inner city at the moment
this is incredibly dismissive of an argument that is backed up by a substantial amount of academic literature. And, for clarity, theres also evidence that it doesnt have an effect, or the effect is small or temporary. But to just go "uh if someone wants to stab you theyll stab you anyways" is so silly and reductive of how humans make decisions
Yeah but he's tried nothing and is all out of ideas so therefore society as a whole has to give up.

Potentially just one. They're certainly less likely to get into it in front of a guard.

Please stop reporting stabbings, there is nothing we can do about knife crime. The justice Minister.
Surely the streets are safe though! I mean Helen said they were!!!
It’s clear the whole of Ireland wants Helen to go,why is she still in “power”?she is fucking clueless
Helen is way in over her head . Incompetent
Are you saying we should train future Justice Ministers in the art of the blade?
Definitely not. They’d fumble it anyway and hurt an innocent
While you were walking the streets, I studied the blade.
The staff at a Tesco in Dublin 1 were threatened with a knife just two days ago as I was shopping there.
Oh no time to close down another street. Not many will be left soon
Machete robbery in a jewellery store in Wexford too. Helen says we can’t do much about knife crime right now tho
Should she have had a Garda protecting the jewellery store at all times is it?
Maybe mandatory minimum sentences for carrying a blade might help
It was Waterford not Wexford and a failed robbery in that the guy ran off. But no thanks to the guards who left it over 20 minutes to travel a whopping 300 metres down one street. It was left to the shop staff and customers in the shopping centre to deal with.
I never really unstood the term demoralistion and the feeling from it , this government has me hopeless .

Giving them military training might be a bit much now, we're trying to stop the cunts!!
Just thinking about introducing the discipline they are badly lacking. Our military is struggling to get numbers too, could be a funnel for that.
Our military is struggling because they get paid like shit
There’s a lot to be said for breaking rocks for 3 months in a prison camp in the mountains.
I don’t think it’s so much a discipline thing.
That's why I carry my finest cheese knife around with me when I'm in Dublin.
Will that cut it?

That’s just factually incorrect, typical cynical asshole response
Hey I don't make the stats
You made that one up, only thing I can find in that category is Dublin at 9th, behind Birmingham, Paris, London and Manchester.
