Top Cats Hat 10 #9 Posted September 8, 2018 Find out why crime is rising and tackle the cause. It's not that easy. Different crimes have different causes. And in many cases tackling the causes does come down to how much money we as a society are prepared to spend. And not just paying for more policing either. Many of the crimes that are rising are as a result of things such as poverty, drug dependency, homelessness and mental health which have got worse over the years and will take years and huge investment to improve.

Top Cats Hat 10 #11 Posted September 8, 2018 All I hear at Westminster is Brexit 24/7 Do we have any choice in that? Until Brexit is sorted out we can't really plan for anything else long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest #12 Posted September 8, 2018 All I hear at Westminster is Brexit 24/7 And I should beeping well hope so! Since they still haven't sorted it. Everything is underfunded, mental health, the police force, doctors so it's difficult to do much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
