From the Daily Telegraph: Sexual assault victim launches campaign calling on Government to install CCTV on London Underground
It's not that I have a particular problem with CCTV (it's pretty much everywhere now, isn't it?) but that reading this is like entering a parallel universe.The woman was shocked to be told that the Underground line is one of the few in the capital not to have CCTV on its carriages to provide police with film evidence to track down sex attackers. Oh, that's what it's for!
“To stop this from happening to anyone else who has, or ever will, travel on central line trains, I am campaigning for Transport for London to install CCTV to keep the public safe while they travel.Are these new 'historical' cameras?
In 2015, TfL launched its Report It To Stop It campaign, after research found that while 10 per cent of passengers experienced unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport in London, only one in 10 reported it.Ah, I see. That's ten percent of the ten percent, presumably. But how exactly does one experience unwanted sexual behaviour? If I see a couple of drunken party-goers having a grapple on the way home, do I experience it?

with London (and the UK) being the most CCTV-ed place on earth I was a bit surprised the Tube didn't have them.

How many peoiple get raped on the Tube??


It's usually so packed there must be 100s of witnesses.

And what if you get poked by an umbrella?

Not at 4 am. Tubes run 24 hours.


You've been away too long...

When CCTV cameras were introduced on one Japanese train line in 2009, the number of reported attacks declined but didn't disappear. Why women don't carry a personal alarm or try some basic lessons in combat/self defence is a mystery to me. Just a few Aikido lessons can equip women with excellent self-defence know-how.
