There’s no doubt in my mind that one of the key roles of government is to keep us safe from crime and criminals. If we aren’t safe in our homes and on our streets, then we will never create a just and successful society. Sadly though, no society has ever been crime-free. I guess, sadly, it never will.
But government can change the policy framework and working environment for the experts – the police, the criminal justice system, social workers and others working at the coal face – so they can get on with their jobs of preventing crime and punishing criminals.
We need a police force freed from pointless paperwork. We need more than just one in five knife criminals jailed: http://tinyurl.com/ko7ln3. Twelve years on, and Labour has failed us.
Earlier this year, I commissioned a survey about crime in the borough. The survey was sent to about 70,000 people across Chiswick, Brentford, Syon, Osterley and Hounslow. I reckon it must be one of the largest surveys on the subject done in the area.
The results will be available on my website very soon. But in the meantime, if you want to know more about what a Conservative administration would do on crime see the links below.
