How can crime be reduced in the UK?

More Police (although i think there are record numbers)?

Tougher Sentences - as if the prisons weren't already overcrowded?

More Surveillance - we're already the most %26quot;watched%26quot; nation?

A change in family values - how the hell can you do that?

More opportunities for young people - that's been tried?

shoot all the naughty people.
harsher punishments and much harsher prisons
It all changed when you wasn't aloud to punish your kids by smacking them.



Bring it back i say.



It worked for me
Crime can be reduced by locking away the criminals - simple as
More Police (although i think there are record numbers)?



Yes they are but that doesnt say there are record numbers 'on the street'!



Tougher Sentences - as if the prisons weren't already overcrowded?



Then build more prisons! Im sure countless officers reading this will agree that it is the same offenders over and over again. Many will be able to give examples of arresting offenders within hours of their release from prison and all will be able to speak of doing so within days. The cost of catching and convicting people over and over is much higher than just leaving them in prison for longer terms. (With less people to catch you could even lower the number of police required!)



More Surveillance - we're already the most %26quot;watched%26quot; nation?



Watching them more would just increase crime. Alot of crime is not reported as often no one notices it occur.



A change in family values - how the hell can you do that?



How do so many family's raise offspring that form part of society and others just fail to achive this? Im my opinion many of the people who fail to raise a family are the same people who would be residing in the extra prison spaces mentioned earlier. It would be difficult to have a family when you have no access to the opposite sex!



More opportunities for young people - that's been tried?



We make our own oppourtunities. Young people who want something in life dont need carrots to be dangled infornt of them. Those young people who dont give a toss where their lives are heading dont give a toss about carrots either. Just another waste of money by governments desprate to show they are doing something.



At the end of the day just lock the criminals away. Inside they dont commit crime. They dont encourage others into crime and dont spawn yet more criminals.
I'm going to be attacked for this by the brainwashed PC Brigade but here it goes;



Firstly, stop taking in people from African/Middle Eastern nations who are Muslim. The amount of Muslim violence in the UK is incredible and if you don't stop them, then look at France to see England's future.



With your Labour Government allowing Sharia Law, starting with issues such as wife beating now handled not by the police or courts but by Islamic clerics, wife beating will increase and the women will have no say. The number of Muslim lodging complaints has already lowered and those who do, quickly withdraw all complaints once they learn it is their Clerics who hate women that deal with them.


face the fact that 80% of it is the result of mass uncontrolled immigration and close our borders for a clean up deporting any one who has been here less than ten years as soon as they break the law. it really is that! simple. but the way the labour party dance to the tune of the EU and the human rights idiots we are never! going to see an end to escalating crime levels. how can you stop it when there is no punishment?....no real consequences to their actions?
Support your local Police wholeheartedly and let him and his colleagues know you are there for him or her. Crime will be tackled a great deal more successfully
A general slackening in standards and discipline has been going on since the sixties, so yes it is a tough one.



But it has to start some where, you can't do much about the retarded morons we have on the street now or their parents who have passed on this slovenly attitude for that matter apart from a forced rehabilitation program and national service, but you can start with better education in schools and give the teachers more control and allow them to discipline the way we used be disciplined whether their parents like it or not!!!, zero tolerance on the streets and a change in the laws allowing people to protect their property by whatever means even if the perpetrator is killed in the process.



It all sounds like harsh measures, but that is what it is going to take unfortunately as it has gone too far to be nice about it, so a massive crack down is the only answer until people start to realise once more the difference between right and wrong.
