Police in south Manchester are taking the fight against student crime direct to the offenders.
The division has launched a new crime busting team made of 10 officers who will prevent re-offending, target known criminals and make them think twice about their crimes. They will also work with partner agencies such as the Probation Service and will gather intelligence to put an end to their criminality.
Chief Inspector Arif Nawaz, from GMP’s south Manchester Division, said: “Each year we welcome more than 80,000 students to Manchester, they add to the vibrancy and rich diversity of our city as well as bringing a significant economic benefit. We run a bespoke student safe operation, with our partners, to help keep them safe.
“Sadly over one in 10 crimes recorded in Manchester are against a student which makes it vital that safety messages are both delivered and taken note of.
“We want to send a clear message to those offenders targeting students that we will be rigorous and relentless in our pursuit of bringing those offenders to justice. Our team won’t leave you alone and instead will make life difficult like you do for students. We will, however work closely with our partners and third sector organisations to support those offenders who genuinely want to turn their life around.
“Criminals will not be given the opportunity to ruin life for students and those blighting our communities will be locked up.”
In addition to the increased patrols in the student areas our teams have been delivering safety talks for thousands of new and existing students urging them to be security savvy.
Chief Inspector Nawaz added, “What students don’t often realise is that being a student automatically makes them a prime target for burglary as they bring with them up to £1,000 of goods when they move. On arriving they often leave the packaging of computers and other gadgetry outside wheelie bins and this in itself is an open advert to thieves.
"When students arrive to the city, simple things such as locking windows and doors are ignored. While we know that moving from home is a new challenge and a big step, simple security measures can be the difference that prevents you from becoming a victim of crime.
“Many of the items hold more than a financial value, in fact your laptop alone contains music collections, photos and for those second and third year students lecture notes and work contribute to your final grade.”
For more information on student safety visit: gmp.police.uk/students or like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/mcrstudentsafer. The page includes updates on crime in your area and features useful information and advice on how to stay safe.
Students can also download the GMP mobile app for details of police meetings and surgeries in your area. Using the GPS navigation, it also features the student safe zones – these are areas where you can go to when feeling unsafe.

Architects; Powell & Moya, 1974.
The following paragraph written for an obituary for Powell in Guardian of 19th May 2003 by Diana Rowntree describes Powell & Moya’s work rather well…
“They approached architecture in a way that was characteristic of the early modern movement, but is seldom remembered today. They thought that originality was appropriate "only when it grows out of the originality of the problem". They mistrusted the monumental approach, "making things big when they need not be". And they did not identify with the attitude that treats any job as a "prestige job", believing that each one - large or small, repetitive or standardised - had an identity of its own and should not, in order to save its designer time and trouble, be allowed to become an arbitrary rehash of one of its predecessors.”
This scheme also sits next to Cherwell like Arne Jacobsen’s St. Catherine's College which is not far from here. St. Catherine is quite rightly considered one of the most notable modern buildings by Jacobsen and is among the best modern buildings in Britain but walking around these two buildings provides hugely different architectural experiences.
Jacobsen’s immaculate modern classicism makes you very aware of each ‘nut and bolt’ and joint between different materials and even flowers and foliage. Your foot steps tend to follow the rhythm of paving joints. One is even aware of a ‘memory’ of a quadrangle with a strategically positioned tree, but let us face it, it could be a great building anywhere in the western world.
This does not apply to the act of walking in and around Wolfson College. You can not be any where other than rarefied British environment of Oxbridge.
Walking here does not allow you to be obsessive about fine detailing but forces you to understand the relationship between colonnades connecting external spaces at differing levels and the lush surrounding subtly modified in traditional British romantic landscaping traditions. The bonus of glimpses reminding you of modern masters like Corb, Aalto and Wright is an extra element of unexpected delight.

Cambridge, MA: Harvard University - Wigglesworth Hall, a dormitory for first-year students. It was constructed in 1931.
Architects & Engineers: Arup Associates. Early 1960s.
Philip Dowson started to explore the layering of concrete structure and the building fabrics very early on in his work with Ove Arup. He continued to improve and refine this mode of design, introducing prefabrication and variety of materials to suit different locations. Particular attention was paid to the weathering of the facades. The results can now be seen in some wonderful University buildings, looking fresh and clean as ever.
15 August 2012. The white block, centre-left, is North Lodge, student accommodation run by Unite. The greenish block in the centre is De Havilland Court - which has flats let by Newlon Home Ownership. On the right is part of Emily Bowes Court - also Unite student housing.

§ Until 2013 some of these Unite Tottenham flats had a clear view of the Leaning Column of Tottenham Hale to which I awarded the status of treasured historic monument. It was demolished by building work on the new station layout.

Co-ed by wing, the average dorm room dimensions of Aviat Hall are 19" x 11". Dedicated in 2000 and opened for occupancy in the fall of 2001, the dorm is named for recently canonized Sr. Leonine Aviat, who, along with Fr. Brisson and Mother Chappuis, co-founded the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis DeSales.
Architects: Leslie Martin & Colin St. John Wilson, 1960-62.
It is said that the scheme was originally designed for a more central/urban site but the land could not be acquired, resulting in the relocation of the building on a more 'suburban' site. This may well explain rather more defensive exterior and softer courtyard treatment than the site warrants.

Opportunities to get out and make new pictures are, of necessity, limited during the COVID-19 outbreak so, from 1st April 2020, I've been hunting through my archives to find images taken on the same date in previous years. I've tried to choose eight each day. They've mostly not been published here before and potentially cover the period 1980-2020. I hope you enjoy them.
