Catching Criminals in Calis

 Also are these people 'named and shamed in the local press so others can know who they are.
I have also suggested that Turkish people in Calis must know who some of the local 'riff-raff' are and I queried whether they inform the authorities of suspicious activity or give them information about peolple aquiring 'goods' without working for them.  
Actually in the UK a lot of crime reduction is done by non-police and this reflects the local communities concerns.
I wonder if this is something Turkey could learn from. Maybe more 'security' type staff in and around the bars might help.
The other issue is my local newspaper and our local TV do report crimes against foreign nationals and there are people in the wider community activley seeking solutions to the problem. Does the local Turkish paper in Calis report these problems.
As I said I don't know what happens in Calis. I do know some CBF members have tried to get the authorities to be more aware of
that allegedly more crime is happening in Calis more frequently....  

Baz - I think this post is far more polite and constructive than yours.
You may be pleased to know that I will not post on this thread anymore.
Instead I will spend the the next day or so thinking about whether CBF is the right place for me!

Ok some answers:

1. Are these people 'named and shamed' in the local press so others can know who they are...

Yes the local Turkish press loves a juicy story, and print great detail about guilty folk. English written local press tend to avoid such stories, prefering to concentrate on who owns the big boat that entered the bay. Don't ask me why it is that way, I don't work for either.

2. Has crime increased in the last 12 months?

Who knows for sure when people aren't reporting it, but my honest opinion is pro rata it hasn't. There are more people, there are more overheard conversations and there are more ways to report it (unofficially).

As the number of people and properties increase in Calis, the physical numbers will probably increase. Per head of population I can't see any increase. My thoughts have always been that 95% of the crime probably can be irradicated by dealing with about half a dozen people.

That's a pity TB - I would have like an answer to my legimate and polite question.

And for the record the reason I asked what you do in your area was only to see if you thought that's what the locals in Calis should do. You never know, had you given me an answer, I might have agreed with you.

Can I suggest that this thread got "out of hand" for no other reason than sometimes the written word comes across not in the way that the person had intended.

If that is the case then there is no need for you to consider whether CBF is the right place for you. It is.

I have received an email from Twin Bee, amongst all the other drivel he states "I am leaving CBF on account of your attack on me."

As I stated above apparently I am to blame.

I too received a long and detailed email from Twin Bee.

This is of course a private matter between us and naturally I will not disclose the contents as indeed you haven't.

I have to say that after reading my email I now firmly believe that he has been misunderstood and that his intentions/motives in posting what he did are totally commendable. As I said previously, I think the problem lay only in the way it came across

I won't say anymore other than I sincerely hope to read more of Twin Bee's posts in the future.

It would be such a pity to lose a contributor who clearly enjoys the Forum and who genuinely feels agrieved by some of the responses he received on a subject he feels passionately about.

Oh for Gawds sake Twin Bee, this is a fun forum and we take the peas out of everyone from time to time, admit it you were going on a bit about something nobody could really answer.

I promise we wont pick on you again for at least another month, there are loads of members on here at the moment who would love the adulation you have received, enjoy it while you can.

Cause its somebody elses turn now:

It's easier to sit at a desk and have a rant on here than it is to go out of our front doors and get involved in the problems of our local areas,if we were all honest.Innit.
