"Home Secretary demonstrates a lack of understanding" - Johnson

Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, Alan Johnson MP, responding to Theresa May's speech said:

"The Home Secretary demonstrates a lack of understanding about the powers already available to the police. An Anti-Social Behaviour Order is one of a series of different powers available to the police and is used when other punitive measures have failed.

"As we saw in the tragic case of Fiona Pilkington it was the failure to use the powers available to the police that caused the problem, not the absence of powers themselves. Of course it is right to keep such matters under review to ensure the public has speedy access to measures to stop anti-social behaviour. However, there is no doubt that the introduction of ASBOs have made a huge contribution towards tackling crime and anti-social behaviour.

"If the Home Secretary is to restrict the opportunities for the police to use ASBOs and other measures currently available then this will be yet another example of this government going soft on crime".
