Unfortuately that is an ongoing problem and makes the news regarly there has been a lot of talk about the merrits of CCTV but little action in that direction. It got tht bad at one stage the police made a plea on the news for girls to wear nickers as they were sck of the sight of them lying sick on the curb with no self respect or decency. One uni studient I knew who lived in an apartment above a main street shop used to use the red dot of a laser levil to frighten them on so he could get some sleep. That only worked if they wern't in a complete stuper.
