ASBOs
A few days ago I promised a blog about how I think the left (as distinct from the Labour party) have failed to understand the political importance of getting to grips with fear of crime and with anti-social behaviour, seeing the point of being tough on the causes of crime but not understanding the bit before it - tough on crime. We seem to have failed to grasp that it is often precisely those poorer Labour areas that are at the sharp end, and that the problem is not just something that no-one can ever do anything about.
Anyway, the lovely Councillor Dan has a new blog, and has addressed just this point in one of the inaugural posts.
