The Fight Against Crime and Disorder

Sir Stephen Watson QPM, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, spoke at Policy Exchange on the fight against crime and disorder. He advocated scrapping Non-Crime Hate Incidents (as previously recommended by Policy Exchange); criticised elements of the Human Rights Act which prevent the deportation of foreign offenders due to claims of a ‘right to a family life’; expressed clear support for stop and search; and criticised the existing ‘accountability’ regime which sees frontline police officers risking prosecution when confronting violent criminals.

The event was covered by The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail.
