The UK General Election saw a new row yesterday as the major parties enagaged in a political verility test to show who was toughest on crime.
The row was triggered by the publication of the latest set of crime statistics, publshed by the Home Office which showed that overall recorded crime fell 5% in the last three months of 2004 - but that violet crime for the same period rose 9%. Tony Blair, argued that this showed Labour's policies on crime were working, although he admitted that the rise in violet crime was 'disappointing'. The Conservative Rottweiler, Michael Howard, said that this wasn't good enough 'ordinary decent people live in fear of violet crime' he said whilst speaking to anyone who would listen. The Lib Dems and Tories for once were agreed in their response to tackling the problem: both want to tackle crime by increasing police numbers, particularly on the beat. |  Violet Crime Victim |
Tony Blair refused to be drawn on the specifics, but said more needed to be done to tackle violet crime, and pledged a 15% cut in overall crime by 2008.
 Overall crime is decreasing | As ever, much of the debate focussed on interpretation of the statistics, the British Crime Survey, which Labour prefers, questions thousands of people about their experiences of crime. It suggests that overall crime has fallen 11% and violnt crime 10%. The survey suggested the risk of being a victim of crime was 24%, the lowest since 1981. Labour is planning to introduce a Violet Crime Reduction Bill if re-elected. A big aspect of the bill will be a curfew on anyone wqearing violet clothing after dark, something previously felt impractical. |
