Interesting articles, but none of them make a direct correlation between safe standing and the increase in violence as far as I can see (though admittedly I did just scan them). In fact most of them say that the violence has been on the rise for the past 12 years, and one even states the way...
I wasn't aware of that no.
So this increase in violence and arrests can be directly attributed to the standing in crowds can it?
Cause I regularly stand at the Amex and have not noticed myself become any more violent, and I certainly haven't been arrested.
Dreadful indeed.
The line about poor behaviour becoming undetected is just bizarre. What sort of poor behaviour are they expecting exactly? And how is it easier to detect this if people are sitting down rather than standing up?
