UK’s Prime Minister Takes Action On Crime
In his latest podcast the Prime Minister discusses upcoming plans to publicise the names and details of people subject to ASBOs and other orders using photographs, public leaflets and the internet.
Gordon Brown said tough action has seen crime rates fall year-on-year, but he said facts and statistics could be “small comfort” to those worried about anti-social behaviour in their area.
The Prime Minister expressed how important it is to him that people feel safe in their communities:
“I will never be satisfied while a single British pensioner hesitates about going out, or a couple think twice before heading into the town centre for a meal.”
During the podcast Mr Brown also reiterated a number of recent plans to improve neighbourhood safety and said that he will be renewing the government’s focus on crime in the upcoming weeks.
On Tuesday Mr Brown will meet local residents and police with Home Secretary Alan Johnson and on Wednesday he will welcome community crime fighters to Downing Street.
The podcasts, which are available on our iTunes channel and YouTube, are recorded at Downing Street or around the world when the Prime Minister is travelling.
