CRIME PREVENTION

In view of the prevalence of hold ups in the New Territories and the frequent raiding of villages on the border, it is gratifying to hear, that the Police are preparing an inten. sive campaign for the suppression of similar outbreaks. The series of robberies with violence and enees of abduction which have lato ly occurred in Kowloon and the villages in British territory, have given the authorities no little an- xiety, for in spite of the dozens of police stations on the Mainland the Police have been unable to item the wave of crime or to apprehend the majority of the offenders. Per haps the only reliable way to pre- vent crime in the New Territories is to invest the village elders with authority to make arrests or act as informers; or, better still, to sta- tion a resident Chinese or Indian constable in each village, as is done at Home, and connect his dwelling with the nearest Police Station by private telephone. At the moment there are scores of villages and hamlets with no telephone commu- nication whatsoever, and in order to report a crime the villagers have to walk several miles to the nearest Station. It is not necessary for each village to have a Station, but the cast of providing modest quar ters, in addition to a cell and a telephone, for a resident constable, would not be excessive. At night all the main roads in the Territorie should be patrolled by armed guards in motor cars and in motor cycles, whilst the lanes and foot- paths could be patrolled by a bicycle squad. The prevention of border raids is a more difficult ques tion, but one effective method would be to establish a series of small watch-houses, each one equip- ped with searchlights and Lewis guns and separated by distances of one mile along the frontier.
