Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons: Population.
Prisons: Population
My Lords, some crimes have gone up, but overall the number of crimes has gone down. I completely accept what the noble Lord says about the number of crimes in this country by comparison with certain other countries where the imprisonment rate is low. I also completely accept the implication of the noble Lord’s question, that very serious offenders, violent offenders or sexual offenders—those who threaten people—need to be in custody until it is safe to release them.
