Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Fighting Crime (Public Engagement).

Fighting Crime (Public Engagement)

Does the Minister understand that if we are to encourage greater public engagement in helping to fight crime, the public must have confidence that when criminals are caught they will be appropriately dealt with? There is growing disillusionment with the Government's early release scheme, which, since it was introduced last year, has allowed some 800 crimes to be committed by people who should have been in prison. What are the Government going to do to put that right?
