K.R.A. DISCUSSES THE QUEEN'S & ALHAMBRO ALARMING INCREASE IN CRIME
AMONG MATTERS discussed at the monthly meeting of the General Committee of the Kowloon Residents' Association held last week, was a subject which has been causing much concern of late to re- sidents of the Peninsula.
This is the recent alarming increase of crime generally in Kowloon, and the notice of the Associa- tion was particularly drawn to the frequent and numerous burglaries in the Kowloon Tong/Homun- tin district.

ing number of larcenies and bur- glaries, as well as nuisances and petty offences, and although în cach case the 'submissions re- ceived courteous and prompt at- tention from the Police, the,situa- tion generally has grown from bad to worse.
There was no doubt that the
inevitable increase in the number the abnormal expansion of Kow- of bad characters consequent upon
loon's population largely of refugee class, had not been coun-
the
tered by police measures effective responding increase in crime; that at the present time the residential fectively patrolled by the police,
enough to prevent a serious cor-
districts of Kowloon are not ef-
especially in the night time.
It was ascertained that dur- ing the past few months, evén with the limited number of police avaliable, a considerable portion of the Force has been taken off patrol duty and al located to special duties such as guarding essential premises. This would naturally necessitate patrols being considerably leng- thened and it was alleged that in some instances 'a singla bon- stable has had to patrol as many as three beats.
It was not surprising therefore that criminals have become more daring of late, and the scarcity of the patrols accounts for the tardiness of police in responding to whistle calls for assistance.
Approach To Government
The need of better protection in the Homuntin/Kowloon Tong district in particular had
been recognised for a long time, and as far back as 1929, the Associa- tion advocated the erection of an additional Police Station for this area, which is considered to be the only effective solution of the problem. Kowloon Tong is still, as it has always been, po- liced from Kowloon City Station which is approximately one mile and a half away, and the other nearest police station is the Mongkok Station over 4 mile
away.
It was the unanimous opin- ion of the meeting that the present strength of the -Police Force in Kowloon is inadequate to cope with the persistent in- crease in crime, and it was de- cided to bring the matter direct- ly to the notice of Government, strongly urging that the person- nel of the Force be strengthened as soon as possible, and that sympathetic consideration should be given to the urgent necessity for the provision of an addition- al Police Station in the Homun- tin/Kowloon Tong area.
