Tony Blair speech on crime and public services

Tony Blair speech on crime and public services; - Now the interesting thing is when you talk about this in relation to health or education or local government, everyone says fine, we understand those principles of public service reform, my point however is that actually in the criminal justice system the same is true / And the paper we are publishing today on Security, Crime and Justice is an attempt to apply those principles of public service reform even to something as difficult as the criminal justice system / The first point is that if we want a criminal justice system that works, we have to target the offender and not simply the offence, now we know that the bulk of crime, or at least half of crime, is committed by 100,000 of the most prolific criminals / What we have already done is allow a greater focus on the prolific offenders, but what we also want to do now is to go further and say for those who are the most prolific offenders, when they finish their sentence they can be under licence to limit what they can do, even when released from prison, so that for example we would be able to ensure that somebody who has got a multiple set of problems and who otherwise is going to be turned back out on the street and reoffending again, can be actually looked after, given the proper support but also know that they have got to take advantage of the support that is being given / This incidentally is not an alternative to prison, it is in addition to prison, there are 20,000 more prison places since 1997, we are building another 8,000, so if people deserve to be in prison, that is where they should be, but where we have tried to target these prolific offenders, and we have done so with several thousand over the past couple of years, there has been a 62% reduction in recorded convictions and over 1,700 of those offenders have been taken off the programme because they are no longer considered to be prolific offenders
