Two Way Radio – Helping Businesses In The Fight Against Crime

Criminal damage, anti social behaviour orders (or ASBOs) and drunken louts are just some of things you might witness on a night out in many Towns and Cities in the UK, across Europe and indeed Worldwide. So faced with this, what are pub and club owners doing in the fight against crime?

Do you think the so called good old days ever existed or do you think its just getting older (and perhaps wiser) that clouds our judgement?

Its just that going out for a few drinks and few laughs seemed to be what used to happen. Visit places nowadays though and theres a chance a few drinks and few laughs might be followed by abuse, being made to feel threatened and in some cases physical violence.

Drunkenness, drinking in the street, shouting abuse at passes by, theft, drug taking, vandalism and assaults as just some of the issues facing owners of pubs, clubs and other licensed trade premises.

But maybe things have always been like this and its just now the media that brings it to our attention. And whether this new epidemic of late night fights and bottle throwing is new or not isnt really the issue.

The issue instead is what is being done by owners of pubs and clubs and take away restaurants to make sure their premises are ones we all feel safe visiting?

The good news is that many are in fact doing a great deal to make your evening out an enjoyable experience.
