Liberal Democrats say "We Can Cut Crime"

At the Liberal Democrat "We Can Cut Crime" rally, Liberal Democrat Leader Menzies Campbell highlighted that over 51 million crimes have been reported in this country since Labour came to power. Menzies Campbell said "Tony Blair's legacy on law and order is one of tough talk, and spectacular failure. Effective criminal justice should deter crime and reform the criminal. But the reality is that Labour has failed on both counts. "Shockingly, we live in a country where less than one in every hundred crimes committed leads to a court conviction. And just as bad, we live in a country where eight out of ten teenage boys reoffend within two years of release."
