Action on anti-social behavour
Labour’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has set out the how the Government will step up the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour.
Labour has taken tough action to bring down crime by over a third since 1997 but the Prime Minister said that there was still more to do – especially around anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime.
The Prime Minister called on local authorities and police authorities to match the Labour Government's commitment to protecting police funding and maintain a strong police presence on the country's streets, which is key to reducing fear of crime.
Gordon Brown said:
"We were the first to recognise the damage that antisocial behaviour was doing to the soul of our communities. We were the first to address it. We were first to legislate to tackle it. And we will be the first to crack it.
“Because I know that while we've made real progress, people are still worried about anti social behaviour. And if they are worried, I'm worried.
“So that means stepping up our fight against those who terrorise our neighbourhoods; intimidate decent people on our streets; and seek to make us fearful in our own homes.
“Let me tell you there is no place and no excuse for those who perpetrate antisocial behaviour in my Britain.”
