Britain must lower the cost of crime

James Vitali has a useful Critic reminder about the cost of UK crime, our weak and ineffectual approach to it and the inevitable consequences.

Britain must lower the cost of crime

The lawful majority are suffering from the effects of the criminal minority

Before anything else, the first duty of government is to keep its citizens safe – from external threats and from the injuries of others. Indeed, that is why we have government in the first place; we establish it because alone we are unable to provide for our own safety.

Order and security are the prerequisites for all other societal goods. We frequently think of liberty and order as somehow mutually exclusive, but actually, they are mutually constitutive; we cannot truly live a life of freedom and prosperity until we are confident that we will not be arbitrarily deprived of our life, liberty or property by criminals, or threatened and intimidated by foreign actors.

Governments can fail in other areas of policy. Citizens can tolerate low economic growth for at least some period. They can put up for a time with an irrational tax system or a self-defeating energy policy. But when government fails in this core competency to protect its citizens, it is an issue of an altogether greater magnitude.

All very familiar, but it is well worth reading the whole piece as a reminder of how unserious modern UK governments and the political class have become. 

Unserious in the sense of being weakly evasive when it comes to tackling serious problems. Unserious reliance on misleading language, unserious meddling with trivial issues of social behaviour, unserious in the promotion of facile noble causes which are neither causes nor noble.

More people need to be put behind bars, not fewer. To give communities a break, repeat offenders deserve tougher sentences. And we need to get smarter at policing at both the tactical and strategic levels. Tried and tested policing methods like stop and search need to be pursued without fear or favour, and police forces should focus more on those hotspot areas that attract the most crime.
