Because the number of crimes committed has remained stubbornly high over the decades – eight stabbings this year, 349 arrests and 61 incidents where officers were assaulted – police argue for a tougher approach.

I wonder how many of the arrested will be fast tracked through the justice system with a 3year plus sentence thrown in for good measure?

It's looking like carnivals are uncommonly safe spaces, in comparison with normal day to day events.

There's no need, the Carnival has finished, there's no chance of copy-cat crimes at the Notting Hill Carnival 2024.
 
A number have been charged with violent disorder = ~3years if someone pleads guilty. Same charge as most of the rioter. More arrests of those now but a couple of weeks before being sentenced.
 
Interesting conversation today with a met police officer.
Apparently the crime figures for carnival are not within an area, let's say a mile from notting hill station.
The figures included in the carnival only take into consideration some roads, so if a crime is committed by a carnival goer but on a road not listed in the met carnival area, it won't be included.
I wonder if it's true, sounded a bit complicated.
 
Anyhow, I went to the carnival Sunday and monday and mainly remained in the latimer road/ladbroke grove area.
I saw a few drunk collapsing and a few hoodeed clowns pretending to be gangsters, but overall, 99% of people were very decent and having a good time, especially yesterday.
Differently from other years when a very large number of attendees were troublemakers, face covered, hood and most likely, weapons.
This year it felt a lot safer, despite the numbers.
Maybe I was lucky.
