We need fresh ideas on knife crime -
Guardian 16/7/09
Labour's approach of too much legislation and not enough action has failed. Knife crime is on the rise and is inextricably linked to family breakdown, addiction and educational failure. Chris Grayling argues that there is need for some common sense measures backed up with good quality, visible policing.

Scottish Executive show courage on tackling alcohol addiction
Published by: Chris Bullivant on Monday 23rd March 2009 07:05pm
This week, the Scottish Government published their
strategy for tackling alcohol abuse.
Central to this is the proposal to establish a minimum price per
unit of alcohol. This would be accompanied by a ban on
‘irresponsible promotions’ and legislating for a Social
Responsibility Fee.
Such pro-activity should be commended. Addiction – both drug
and alcohol – is a
key driver of poverty. It is also a key driver of crime, violence
and anti-social behaviour. Directly and indirectly, it ruins
lives, families and communities.

Her findings, alarming but recurrent, once again expose the inadequacies of prison policy. The stark conclusion that government continues to fail to tackle drugs in prison is one of the most concerning.
The prison drugs trade, valued at a staggering annual £100 million by the former head of treatment policy at NOMS, is rife. So deeply saturated is the system that prisoners, such as a recent recovering heroin addict, are desperately attempting to flee custody and avoid their inevitable relapse.
