A good thing

Yesterday while walking through Mudchute Park on my way to Asda I was displeased to see the following posted around the various entrances to the woodland, on laminated bits of A4 (loosely paraphrased).

So they made some counterflyers.

If people are being conversationally stopped, I'm not clear on the benefits of additional lighting.

Bright lights make people think they are more likely to be seen, this reduces the attraction of a given area to someone who wishes to commit a crime (be it against a person, or a property).

Ah, that explains it. And is a correlation I'm surprised I didn't spot, given that I was for a long time more comfortable with badly lit areas for a related reason - no clear view of anything I might do defensively.
