Crime
« Incapacity benefit | Back to most recent briefing | Education White Paper »
Put to the PMOS that the Mayor of Middlesbrough, "Robocop" had said that the Government’s crime policies were a great disappointment and people had been waiting eight years, the PMOS said that if you looked at the crime statistics, for instance in relation to burglary and vehicle crime reductions in those areas and the fact that overall crime was going down was sufficient answer. However the Government recognised that there were still areas such as violent crime where it needed to and was doing more. If you looked at the policies that the Government had developed on ASBOs, which dealt with low level crime, most people thought they were overdue but also certainly thought they were worth pursuing in relation to local crime at a local level.
