Today the Prime Minister has announced a tough new package of measures to crackdown on retail crime as we stick to our long-term plan to drive down crime, creating safer communities for you and your family.
- Since 2010 we have cut crime excluding fraud by 55 per cent, but we understand that shop workers and keepers continue to be impacted by theft, abuse and violence. That is why the Prime Minister has launched a tough crackdown on these offences through a raft of new measures such as tags for repeat offenders to prevent future offences, £55.5 million for facial recognition technology to identify offenders and a specific new offence for assaulting shop workers, delivering on our plan to drive down crime.
- In areas with a Labour Police and Crime Commissioner you are 40 per cent more likely to be a victim of crime, because Labour do not have a plan to cut crime. By sticking to the Conservatives long term plan to tackle crime, we are making our streets and communities safer for you and your family.
