Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 23 August 2007

KNIFE CRIME

• I AM emailing you to say how angry I feel with the picture on the centre pages of the August 16 edition.
You are supposed to be showing the Camden youth festival, however you have spread over two pages the picture of a group of boys, singing, except one of them is singing holding a knife to his face!
I cannot understand why you have printed this picture, haven’t we had enough glamorising of violence without you publishing it.
I expect you to explain why you thought it acceptable to print this picture.
Name and address supplied

• Editor’s note: We are happy to confirm that the young man in the picture was brandishing an ice pop not a knife.
