Would you intervene if you saw someone being beaten up?

Andrew Jones was smashed in the head on a night out in Liverpool recently and died as a result. Plenty of people saw him being beaten up, but did nothing. His killers were caught but given only cursory justice. His father is now leading a campaign to punish them properly and to stop the sort of savagery that led to his death. http://www.justiceforandrewjones.com

I spoke on Liverpool’s City Radio about Andrew Jones’ tragic death and the whole issue of intervening if you see someone in trouble. The British have a real problem with this: the Germans are twice as likely to intervene if they see anti-social behaviour than us. I explained that there was no way I would pile into a fight if I saw someone in trouble: it’s just too dangerous. Sad but true.’

    Very interesting to see that Paddington Academy is one of the few schools to bite the bullet — or pull the knife if you like — and introduce metal detectors to stop knife crimes in the school. Even more interesting to note, that it was the pupils who wanted it. As I argued previously on […]
