Government all spin and no substance on anti-social behaviour

October 19, 2009 1:59 PM

Commenting on Government adviser Louise Casey's criticism of Labour's record on tackling anti-social behaviour, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

"Louise Casey is right to take the Government to task over its failure on anti-social behaviour, but she has been part of the problem.

"Ministers are all spin and no substance on anti-social behaviour, as demonstrated by Casey's headline grabbing Asbos. They are a gimmick that are constantly breached and are often seen as a badge of honour.

"To tackle anti-social behaviour we need more police on the streets, talking to the public, and new approaches to punishment, such as Community Justice Panels."
