One of the most iconic London crime-related posters is the "Keep Calm and Report Crime" series. This modern twist on the classic wartime "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster encourages Londoners to report crimes and suspicious activities to aid local law enforcement. Although this series isn’t directly from London’s history of crime, it has become emblematic of public safety campaigns in the UK, often seen around transport hubs and public spaces to promote vigilance.

Another example is "Metropolitan Police Wanted Posters," a classic approach to informing the public about suspects in active investigations. These posters are straightforward, displaying suspect images and details, aiming to crowdsource tips. They are often posted at Underground stations and public areas, encouraging residents to play a part in maintaining community safety.

Additionally, posters related to Jack the Ripper are among the most famous historical crime posters. In the late 19th century, these posters sought information about suspects and raised public awareness during the infamous Ripper murders in Whitechapel. Although replicas of these posters are now largely used in museums or as historical collectibles, they offer a unique look into London's approach to crime awareness in the past.

These posters not only reflect different eras of crime awareness but also show the evolution of public engagement in crime prevention across London's history.

Maybe our goal for this task_ Resistance to Crime

# data[].attributes.body
The ultimate goal of our investigation into crime cases is resistance against crime itself. We need to raise public awareness to prevent crime from occurring in the first place and to create posters or signs that encourage prompt reporting and mutual vigilance when crime does occur, thereby facilitating quicker resolution of incidents.

London is a city renowned for its detective fiction, such as Sherlock Holmes, as well as real crime events like Jack the Ripper. The rapid development of London during the industrialization of the Victorian era led to increased social inequality and chaos, resulting in widespread crime. Additionally, the city's dark alleys, foggy streets, and landmarks like the River Thames and Big Ben create a unique atmosphere of solitude that evokes tension and intrigue among people.

So, why do people feel both fear and fascination regarding crime incidents? Understanding this could guide us in creating effective warning signs.

So, why do people feel both fear and fascination regarding crime incidents? Understanding this could guide us in creating effective warning signs.

# data[].attributes.body
First, crime incidents stimulate a sense of tension experienced from a safe distance. We encounter these events without direct exposure to their dangers, leading to heightened anxiety when we hear about them. This reaction is similar to the feelings evoked by horror movies or thrillers, as the tension releases dopamine, providing a sense of enjoyment.

Second, crime cases stimulate strong human curiosity. The process of solving these incidents resembles piecing together a complex puzzle; uncovering the truth and the resolution process piques people's intellectual interests. Particularly, the investigation of unresolved cases or complex motivations and psychologies draws innate fascination.

Third, encountering crime allows us to explore the boundaries of good and evil, morality and immorality. Analyzing the actions and psychologies of offenders offers an opportunity to reflect on our own and society's moral standards. This process naturally invokes a desire to reaffirm social norms and protect ourselves and society.

In summary, interest in crime cases is a psychological response that combines the innate desire for safety with curiosity. Through this, people prepare psychologically to understand and counteract crime indirectly, gaining opportunities for moral reflection.

Performance art is a kind of madness. Its greatest exponents in their greatest works often seem on the edge of some psychotic meltdown in which reality itself is exposed as a cosmic lunacy. Think of Chris Burden getting himself shot in the arm, or Vito Acconci masturbating under an art gallery floor. Or go right back to the origins of performance at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916 when the Dadaist poet Hugo Ball babbled inchoately at the nighthawks of Zurich.

When you think of this history - and let's not forget the riots deliberately induced by Futurist Evenings before the first world war - it seems reasonable to claim that not only was film-maker Joe Gibbons genuinely staging "performance art" when he robbed a New York City bank, as he claimed, but that it was some kind of masterpiece.

Gibbons went to the Capital One Bank in Manhattan's Chinatown on New Year's Eve and gave a teller a note saying "THIS IS A ROBBERY ..." He got away with more than $1,000 but was also given a dye pack that burst and covered him with an incriminating stain. He filmed his own robbery, which was also caught on security cameras. The NYPD found him in a hotel room along with his video camera, which they recognised from the security footage. So his camera helped catch him.

A judge has given Gibbons a one-year prison sentence despite his claim that he robbed the bank as "performance art" exacerbated by financial need. Academic experts on performance art have supported his claim. He does have a respectable track record as a filmmaker and artist, having shown his work at several Whitney Biennials and the Pompidou Center.

This Is a Robbery - as his new work might so easily be titled - really does make it as performance art. Many of the most fascinating and memorable exploits in this field balance precariously on the border between reality and absurdity. I would include among those classics not only Burden's delirious deeds but the pranks of comic Andy Kaufman, who merged himself with his fictional personae in a provocative, uneasy way. Kaufman was friends with Laurie Anderson - so he knew all about performance art when he challenged women, apparently seriously, to "inter-gender wrestling" matches. No wonder some people think he faked his death as the ultimate performance artwork.

Yet Gibbons' assault on reality is perhaps more reminiscent of the character Rupert Pupkin in Martin Scorsese's film The King of Comedy. Would-be comic Pupkin ends up kidnapping a television chat show host played by Jerry Lewis and demanding his own slot in which he will be announced as the "king of comedy". It works. He goes to jail, but becomes a star. Was his exploit a crime or some extreme performance stunt?

In the New York alternative film world, confusing fact and fiction goes back to the 1960s and Andy Warhol's Factory. The lives and deaths of Edie Sedgwick and other superstars were half real, half fantasy - until the all-too-real shooting of Warhol by Valerie Solanas.

Gibbons must go to jail, but will he be showing his bank robbery film at the Whitney when he gets out? Will the notoriety boost his career? Do cops chase bank robbers?

As Rupert Pupkin said: "You can have anything you want, so long as you pay the price."

Interseting points

Unlike any other Psychopahs and Serial Killers, he loved animals, took care of them, seemed polite to everyone, supported Pacifism, and also was socialized person.

He looked so normal or even handsome and gentle, which gave London citizens a shock, because we all have som prejudice and visual fantasy about murderers’ appearance; they might seem dark, closed, anti-socialised, and isolated.

He confessed his whole crimes, but the distinctive feature is that he asked us back about the motive of the crime. What he wanted was to find and prove the reason why he finally became a serial killer, since he didn’t figure it out himself too.

The Office for National Statistics said the rise in theft was predominantly the result of increases in shoplifting offences and "theft from the person" offences. In London, 68,690 shoplifting offences were recorded last year, a 48 per cent increase on the year before. Theft from the person crimes rose 39 per cent in the area, with 88,480 logged in 2023-24.

Policing minister Dame Diana Johnson said the data showed the "scale of the challenge we have inherited in our mission to make streets safer". Dame Diana added: "Too many town centres have been decimated by record levels of shoplifting, and communities have been left shaken by rising levels of knife crime, snatch theft and robbery.

She continued: "This Government will restore neighbourhood policing across the country, put thousands more dedicated officers out on our streets and scrap the £200 shoplifting threshold, bringing an end to the effective impunity for thieves who steal low value goods."
