Consequently, and perhaps unsurprisingly, Doug notes that “if somebody sees something it’s best not to say anything, if it comes back on you there’s more trouble. So there’s that wall of silence, a wall of fear”. Accordingly, many residents inevitably secure their self-preservation by ensuring that they ‘see but don’t see’ (Anderson 2000) as they retain an almost habituated fetishistic disavowal of the persistent perpetration of crime and harm. Gavin captures well this necessary blindness when noting that:

Nobody wants to get involved you know nobody wants the hassle, so as long as it’s not affecting them they’re happy to be ignorant to it. And you need to be, you need to have a certain degree of ignorance you know for your own safety.
