Advertising Agency to be front line in London’s Crime
November 30, 2007
A 100% rise in gun crime in London’s City of Westminster has added to pressure on Home Secretary Jacqui Smith to step up the fight against gang violence and firearms offenses. By Hiring an Advertising Agency.
Evidently the crime rate has hit the roof, with a 100% rise in crime. Their counter measure, hire an ad agency to tell people that shooting people in the face is bad.
Smith launched a national drive against gang violence in September and is considering whether to hire an ad agency as part of the battle.
I myself have a better idea.
Instead of spending public money to make crappy ads that Drug Dealers won’t read.. or if they do they will use it as target practice. The best bet would be to allocate those funds to fund programs to keep kids in school or offer legitimate jobs.
Putting ads up saying ‘don’t shoot people, it’s bad’ is not exactly the best use of funds. Mostly because those types of criminals already know what they are doing is wrong to extreme levels.
