Police will harass yobs in new plan to tackle antisocial behaviour

BritishAsian Thu May 08, 2008 at 03:05:25 PM GMT Print-friendly version Facebook

Thousands of yobs are to be photographed and videoed in big-brother style police operations to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour, the Home Secretary announced today.
 

Suspects will be “harassed” by officers visiting them day and night and issued with repeated warnings about their behaviour under the drive to deal with a hard core of offenders who persist with yobbish behaviour on estates.

The debate on the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill last week was notable for two reasons. First, for the number of Tory backbenchers who used it as a platform to bark anti-government soundbites to feed their local newspapers. Second for the contibution of Tory backbencher David T.C. Davis.



Can Cameron hold onto the centre-ground while talking about immigration?

Has Cameron done enough to ditch the Tory's 'nasty party' image that he can talk about core-vote issues without it scaring away the centrist voters?
