31,500 prisoners have been released early this year, including thousands of violent offenders. Is this the way to tackle crime on the streets of London, especially at a time when knife crime is increasing?
I believe that we have to:
a) have a long term plan to deal with the causes of crime - unless we understand and solve the root causes, we will never reduce crime on our streets
b) create a process of rehabilitation for young offenders to stop them committing knife and other crimes in the future - the reoffend rate is high and we need to work with these young offenders to make them face up to their issues and create a process for skills building and support back into the community
c) reduce police bureaucracy so that more police officers are out on the streets trying to prevent crime taking place - then we will feel safer
This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed now before it incresase even further.
