  <WSC#DGB041:0005:HR>
      certainly gather two or three or four other people who are
      passing by and say look if we all go over there together this
      guy is gonna stop

  <WSC#DGB041:0010:HR>
      he's not gonna take four of us on

  <WSC#DGB041:0015:Z1>
      yeah <{1><[1>i i <.>w</.> i <?><.>w</.></?> agree</[1> with you
      but coming back to the point of <.>who</.> um without er
      <&>2:00</&> wanting to get er dumped again <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DGB041:0020:Z1>
      i would like to know these days how much support the police
      really have out <{2><[2>there</[2>

  <WSC#DGB041:0025:Z1>
      there's a lot of people who they expect the police to come and
      help them and there was actually a um a couple of years ago <.>t</.>
      two policemen beaten up on james smith's corner one friday night
      <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0030:HR>
      <[1>and that's actually sensible</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGB041:0035:HR>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGB041:0040:HR>
      and noone went to <{><[>their help</[>

  <WSC#DGB041:0045:Z1>
      <[>and nobody</[></{> went to their assistance <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0050:HR>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0055:Z1>
      but i would like to know actually how much support the police
      actually have from the community

  <WSC#DGB041:0060:Z1>
      they expect the community the community expect them to be there
      for them <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0065:HR>
      right <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0070:Z1>
      but when it comes to the community and they're looking for
      witnesses of anything nobody wants to know a lot of the time

  <WSC#DGB041:0075:Z1>
      you know you'll get um joe er a number of elderly and joe
      citizen ring your show but on the whole er the there's a lot of
      people who just don't want to get involved

  <WSC#DGB041:0080:HR>
      er i wonder brian what <.>do</.> i mean getting back to the
      security there in in in that manners <&>3:00</&> mall area

  <WSC#DGB041:0085:HR>
      if the retailers expect us to shop there we expect to be able to
      shop in relative safety and security and are they willing to
      actually finance regular security patrols after dark on shopping
      evenings

  <WSC#DGB041:0090:Z1>
      friday night bill can be very rough there

  <WSC#DGB041:0095:Z1>
      i rang you about a year <{><[>ago</[> about er somebody who was
      beaten up in the hoyts cinema complex

  <WSC#DGB041:0100:HR>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0105:HR>
      oh yeah

  <WSC#DGB041:0110:Z1>
      i i <.>y</.> you know we talked about that <{><[>around</[> the
      games parlour there

  <WSC#DGB041:0115:HR>
      <[>yep</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0120:HR>
      right

  <WSC#DGB041:0125:Z1>
      and friday night when everybody's out er <O>voc</O> it can be
      very rough

  <WSC#DGB041:0130:Z1>
      i had a <{><[>an acquaintance of</[> mine's friend who had his
      leg broken down the um side you know where the um post office is
      down that little lane there <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0135:HR>
      <[>i wouldn't walk through there</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0140:HR>
      look i would not walk through there at night

  <WSC#DGB041:0145:HR>
      would you

  <WSC#DGB041:0150:Z1>
      yeah well this is friday night when people were about <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0155:HR>
      mm i mean five thirty in the evening when these two women were
      attacked <.>i</.> <.>i</.> i mean fair enough

  <WSC#DGB041:0160:HR>
      i mean <.>i</.> you know i'd go through there at five thirty to
      catch a bus or something but i mean you wouldn't expect you'd be
      attacked at five thirty in the evening on your way home from
      work

  <WSC#DGB041:0165:Z1>
      well looking around town these days <.>bob</.> er <&>4:00</&>
      bill it's er it's surprising what can happen around town even at
      twelve o clock

  <WSC#DGB041:0170:Z1>
      that's the element of surprise with purse snatches or anybody
      being mugged

  <WSC#DGB041:0175:Z1>
      somebody just coming up to you got a light bud bang and they're
      off with your blimmin bag or your wallet

  <WSC#DGB041:0180:HR>
      and that's when shock sets in all right

  <WSC#DGB041:0185:HR>
      thanks for your call

  <WSC#DGB041:0190:HR>
      good morning rick

  <WSC#DGB041:0195:Z2>
      yeah bill look i'd just like to put in the comment too what your
      listeners think about <O>inhales</O> what's called
      accountability

  <WSC#DGB041:0200:HR>
      aha

  <WSC#DGB041:0205:Z2>
      well the biggest example i've got at the moment is we've just
      got the commissioner retiring

  <WSC#DGB041:0210:Z2>
      his claim to fame is that crime has sort of tripled since he's
      been in

  <WSC#DGB041:0215:Z2>
      he's built twenty two police stations

  <WSC#DGB041:0220:Z2>
      he's just opened a new one with the madman banks for <{><[>twenty</[>
      two million in dunedin

  <WSC#DGB041:0225:HR>
      <[><O>voc</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0230:HR>
      <laughs>yeah</laughs>

  <WSC#DGB041:0235:Z2>
      we've got policemen now running round in forty thousand dollar
      cars with mag wheels that i can't afford to put on my cars

  <WSC#DGB041:0240:HR>
      yep <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0245:Z2>
      we've got corporate think where they <O>inhales</O> i think of
      the latest a hundred and twenty recruits a hundred and eighTEEN
      have got tertiary education

  <WSC#DGB041:0250:Z2>
      one of them wants to <with cynical voice>develop the new hundred
      million <&>5:00</&> dollar computer for the police</with cynical voice>

  <WSC#DGB041:0255:Z2>
      another one wants to look into psychology of victim support

  <WSC#DGB041:0260:Z2>
      hey we need panel beaters we need <,> ex wrestlers on the
      streets downtown in our cities

  <WSC#DGB041:0265:Z2>
      we don't need flash policemen out in the suburbs in marble
      arches washing their cars as they seem to be doing a hell of a
      lot of in kilbirnie

  <WSC#DGB041:0270:HR>
      how good's how much good is a computer expert gonna be when
      you're getting your head beaten in in manners mall on a friday
      night <latch>

      exactly

  <WSC#DGB041:0280:Z2>

      where in the thirties nazi germany was building up their
      battleships and their HUGE equipment and capital resources where
      and no one was watching

  <WSC#DGB041:0285:Z2>
      you know what's the name of the game

  <WSC#DGB041:0290:Z2>

  <WSC#DGB041:0295:Z2>
      um they've passed on parking responsibilities

  <WSC#DGB041:0300:Z2>

      round with PSEUdo police cars and are picking you up for warrant
      of fitnesses and they're going to pick you up for registration

  <WSC#DGB041:0305:HR>

      hour

  <WSC#DGB041:0505:Z2>
      christ he's a <.>cro</.> <.>co</.> community constable

  <WSC#DGB041:0510:Z2>
      he should be running round in a ford siesta or a honda civic <{><[>like</[>
      they do on the bill

  <WSC#DGB041:0515:HR>
      <[><.>wh</.></[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0520:HR>

  <WSC#DGB041:0570:Z3>
      well i've been listening to the talkback this morning <O>voc</O>
      er about the manners mall incident and um <.>i</.> what about
      has anybody thought of <.>ha</.> installing concealed video
      cameras in that area to be a backup anyway

  <WSC#DGB041:0575:HR>
      as er for taking evidence and things like that

  <WSC#DGB041:0580:HR>
      yeah well this is the kind of positive thinking i think they
      need to do <{><[>if you <unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DGB041:0585:Z3>
      <[>i mean</[></{> it's all very well talking about the police
      being there <&>10:00</&> <{><[>but</[> they never seem it it
      seems that they're not always in the right place at the right
      time but at least with a video camera there'd be some sort of
      backup as as a witness <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0590:HR>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0595:HR>
      aha <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0600:Z3>
      to what has happened even if people perhaps don't come forward

  <WSC#DGB041:0605:HR>
      true

  <WSC#DGB041:0610:HR>
      it'd be it'd be <.>u</.> they'd be useful as a bit of a
      deterrent that people would eventually find out or be told that
      they were there

  <WSC#DGB041:0615:Z3>
      yes <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0620:HR>
      the only thing is a video camera couldn't get a <.>pi</.> a a
      bunch of hoons off my back if <{><[>they</[> were trying to sort
      of beat my head in <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0625:Z3>
      <[>no</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0630:Z3>
      no i realise <{><[>that</[> but i believe the people of point
      howard um are are <.>the</.> have worked together and installed
      a um a video camera before people go up to point howard and it's
      been a very good deterrent

  <WSC#DGB041:0635:HR>
      <[>no</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:0640:HR>
      oh yeah

  <WSC#DGB041:0655:Z3>
      <[>yes</[></{> <.>w</.> <.>i</.> all the cars that go up are on
      the video camera and if there's been any burglaries <{1><[1>etcetera</[1>
      it's been a <.>v</.> a very positive way of um catching the the
      people <{2><[2>mm</[2> <&>11:00</&>

  <WSC#DGB041:0660:HR>
      <[1>aha</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DGB041:0665:HR>
      <[2>gosh</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DGB041:0670:HR>

      take your <{><[>girlfriend up there for a park up any more
      <laughs>would you</laughs></[>

  <WSC#DGB041:0675:Z3>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{> i don't know

  <WSC#DGB041:0695:HR>
      i've been married far too long to find out <{1><[1>those sorts
      of things</[1> but i mean yes it's bit of a worry actually

      <{2><[2>you never</[2> know who's watching <{3><[3>you know if

  <WSC#DGB041:0715:Z3>
      <[3>no you don't but i</[3></{3> thought i think it's quite um
      <O>tut</O> a positive way of at oh at least those people up
      there feel there's some they're doing something towards helping
      the situation

  <WSC#DGB041:0720:HR>
      mm well a bit of proactive thinking there and it's a good one
      too good suggestion

      skateboard around there and they attacked him with their
      skateboards <,>

  <WSC#DGB041:0755:HR>
      what hit him over the head with a <{><[>skateboard</[>

  <WSC#DGB041:0760:Z4>

      <drawls>dear</drawls> me <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0770:Z4>

      back off and just report it

  <WSC#DGB041:0775:HR>
      well see some of the skateboarders drive me crazy because they

  <WSC#DGB041:0935:Z5>
      yeah good morning bill

  <WSC#DGB041:0940:Z5>
      i'd just like to agree with that lady about the cameras

  <WSC#DGB041:0945:HR>
      aha

  <WSC#DGB041:0950:Z5>
      they do work well in point howard and yeah i think that they
      they would work in er manners mall as well <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0955:HR>
      they're good for after the after the fact they i mean there's a
      little bit of deterrent if if the if these kids are bright
      enough to know they're going to be filmed not to actually front
      up there anywhere near the cameras

  <WSC#DGB041:0960:HR>
      secondly you can use them as evidence <&>16:00</&> but if an <.>in</.>
      incident occurs they're not the whole answer are they

  <WSC#DGB041:0965:HR>
      they can't help you

  <WSC#DGB041:0970:Z5>
      no they're not but then i don't know if security is the whole
      answer either

  <WSC#DGB041:0975:Z5>
      i i've had um a lot of kids tell me that um apparently they have
      security at mcdonald's <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0980:HR>
      aha <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0985:Z5>
      but they only look after you while you're in mcdonald's

  <WSC#DGB041:0990:Z5>
      <{><[>if anything</[> happens outside mcdonald's they just wash
      their hands of it <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:0995:HR>
      <[>that's right</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:1000:HR>
      no you need security in the mall area itself

  <WSC#DGB041:1005:HR>
      if you if you go to queensgate <&>pronounced queenscate</&> er
      queensgate in the hutt or if you go to k mart <.>ou</.> out in
      porirua you don't have gangs of youths wandering through there
      causing trouble <O>voc</O>

  <WSC#DGB041:1010:HR>
      families are safe to go there

  <WSC#DGB041:1015:Z5>
      oh yeah i i yeah i agree with that actually

  <WSC#DGB041:1020:Z5>
      i think you made a good point before too that the these kids are
      actually a step up from the street kids

  <WSC#DGB041:1025:HR>
      yeah

  <WSC#DGB041:1030:Z5>
      um you know i've had problems with the street kids <,> <drawls>and</drawls>
      that's rather unusual cos i'm not exactly a small person

  <WSC#DGB041:1035:HR>
      <O>voc</O> <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DGB041:1040:Z5>

      sixteen seventeen year olds

  <WSC#DGB041:1045:HR>
      aha

  <WSC#DGB041:1050:Z5>

      they try and intimidate you which is er you know <{><[><unclear>word</unclear>
      <?>are some</?></[> these streetkids <latch>

  <WSC#DGB041:1060:HR>
      <[>what are they what are they after</[></{>

  <WSC#DGB041:1065:HR>
      what are they after

  <WSC#DGB041:1070:HR>
      are they just after <.>they</.> they are they just doing it for
      aggravation or are they after clothing or after money or or what

  <WSC#DGB041:1075:Z5>
      well er sometimes i think it's just aggravation

  <WSC#DGB041:1080:Z5>
      i've had them follow me from manners mall half way down courtney
      place you know just basically with obscene comments obscene
      gestures etcetera

  <WSC#DGB041:1085:Z5>
      <.>i</.> i think they try and aggravate you they try and
      intimidate you they try and see where they can get with you

  <WSC#DGB041:1090:HR>
      yeah and if you turn around and you you bite they're all in

      know you're <.>you</.> you're you're a reasonable height
