Labour’s Criminal Justice: Performance or Reality?
Manage episode 469725196 series 3371563
Is tougher legislation the answer to crime, or is it just more political posturing?
The Government’s monster new Crime and Policing Bill promises to crack down on antisocial behaviour, knife crime, and retail theft. But is any of this really necessary, or is it just another example of performative lawmaking?
This episode unpacks the bill’s sweeping powers, the political motivations behind it, and asks whether existing laws already cover these issues.
With police resources stretched thinly, what impact will these changes have on frontline policing and public confidence in the justice system?
Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by leadng commentator Danny Shaw to break it all down.
