UK: Guerilla Knitting in Leicester ‘To Reduce Crime Fear’
8th March 2013
Hundreds of pom-poms and knitted items have been strung from trees and lampposts to help reduce the fear of crime in an area of Leicester.
Why, of course! Why didn’t we think of that?
Ms Bilby, a senior lecturer in criminology at Northumbria University, said: “I think that making an area look cosier certainly makes an area feel safer.
Not be safer, you understand, but feel safer. Feeling is far more important than being in this degenerate modern age.
They were made by schools and community groups including the Knitting Guerillas of Birstall.
Truly, you cannot make this shit up.
