Innovative use of phonecams to curb graffiti in the UK

"Yob" is "boy" spelled backwards, by it means trouble boy. But instead of the "happyslapping" story where the punks take pictures of themselves roughing someone up, the leaders of this British town have turned the tables. When citizens see a problem like graffiti, they send in a picture with their phonecam, and the town takes care of it.

The French are interested enough to send over a camera crew. What a good idea this is, to harness the lowly phonecam into civic work.HEN News : Harlow Star : Yob rule crusade brings French TV crew to town: "They were investigating new innovations in tackling yob culture on this side of the Channel. Harlow's particular attraction was its pioneering camera phone reporting system.

The scheme, launched last year, allows residents to take digital photos of graffiti, flytipping or other anti-social acts and send them via a phone line, along with details, to Harlow Council."
