As a first step, there must be a reversal in the huge cuts to police personnel, which have seen the number of officers fall by 20,000 since 2010.At present, a culture of leniency prevails so that the enfeebled justice system provides neither safety to the public nor deterrence against criminals.Despite all the talk of crackdowns, the average custodial sentence for possession of a knife or an offensive weapon in 2017 was just 7.5 months.
After a spate of killings last November, he declared that “we’ve got to give young people constructive things to do, investing in youth centres, youth workers and youth clubs,” as if thugs are driven to murderous butchery by lack of access to table tennis or football. Just as idiotic is Khan’s policy, inevitably taken up by the cowardly Government, that street violence should be treated a “public health” question rather that a criminal justice problem.It is absurd to portray crime as a kind of contagion or infectious disease.
Our politicians need to get real and this means the Government has to become much tougher about policing and prison sentences.
