SIR - I am certain a lot of the violence on the streets is caused partly by too much shown on television because they are copycat crimes - for instance, on EastEnders recently were a gang of lads carrying a gun and the same gang intimidating Dot Cotton.
All of this is going on on the street, and police are trying their utmost to clamp down on gun crimes and knives on the street.
They should not get away with these showings of violence on TV. We could do with a Mary Whitehouse back to moderate what is shown.
