Centre for Crime Prevention

This month I founded the Centre for Crime Prevention, a new campaign to:

uncover the facts about how many serious and repeat offenders avoid prison every year
counter naive wishful thinking that puts vulnerable people at risk by failing to incarcerate those who are a danger to others
support beat-based zero tolerance policing
put victims of crime and law abiding citizens first.

The campaign has already received coverage from most national newspapers and the BBC.

The web site is www.centreforcrimeprevention.com.

For ConservativeHome ...

... I wrote last week on what voters are really thinking about when they consider quality of life.

Also for ConservativeHome, Boris Johnson today answers questions, including my own: "Do you sympathise with those who consider the government posters stamped with 'Mayor of London' all over the capital to be unBritish and more than a little Orwellian? Would you scrap them?".

At the Heritage Foundation ...

... I ask author John Berlau if environmentalism as a type of secular religion contributes to an atmosphere where the trade-offs between environmental protection and other desirable ends are not recognised, and much harm is done. [At 47:30 on the recording]
