Commenting on crime statistics released today, which show that the number of drug offences recorded by police in England and Wales rose by 14% in the second quarter of this year, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Nick Clegg MP said:
"No doubt ministers will find something in these statistics to crow about.
"However, the truth is that people feel far less safe in their own communities than they should, and certain key offences such as drug-related crime are still going up.
"This is the depressing legacy of the Government’s tough-talking populism on crime. What people care about is not whether politicians sound tough, but whether they have the smart ideas needed to cut offending."
