Police

Summary

We think the government should introduce harsher sentencing for theft. We also think more police should be patrolling on our streets. We think more police could tackle incidents of public theft with regards to shoplifting and increasing phone theft, ensuring criminals are held accountable for their actions. There has been a rise in people stealing from shops and pickpocketing and we think this has caused local communities to become unsafe.
