Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Knife Crime.
Knife Crime
My hon. Friend makes an important point. Part of what is needed is certainty, so that people who are committing crimes know what will be the consequence if they are caught. Part of the problem is that too many community sentences such as the intensive supervision and surveillance programme see routine breaches that do not lead to any comeback on the offender. Does he agree that there is a danger that that builds in a sense that people can break the rules and get away with it?
