Tories act on crime

Following the huge response to our summer Campaign for Safer Streets, it is clear that people in Gordon want to see an increased Police presence in their communities as a deterrent to crime.

Scottish Conservatives are pledged to:

• Cut bureaucracy and red tape, to release police officers from desk work and increase the numbers of community based police officers
• Extend the use of CCTV in city centres and wherever there is a high incidence of crime
• Ensure that punishment fits the crime and that sentences should mean what they say Overhaul the Youth Justice System
• Take violent and persistent young offenders off the streets by establishing more places in secure accommodation
• Restore confidence in the Justice System by putting the needsof victims before criminals
