Home / Chapter 3 Crime and security / Labour
Today, there is less chance
Today, there is less chance of being a victim of crime than for
more than 20 years. But our security is threatened by major
organised crime; volume crimes such as burglary and car
theft, often linked to drug abuse; fear of violent crime; and
anti-social behaviour. Each needs a very different approach.
We are giving the police and local councils the power to tackle
anti-social behaviour; we will develop neighbourhood policing
for every community and crack down on drug dealing and
hard drug use to reduce volume crime; we are modernising
our asylum and immigration system; and we will take the necessary
measures to protect our country from international
terrorism.
