Crime fosters a parallel society and breaks down society’s fundamental values, whilst low crime rates achieved by firmness, consistency and prevention enhance trust between people and increase a sense of security and growth. On several occasions, the Government has tightened the penalties for bodily harm crime and has – most recently in connection with the adoption of the Anti-Gang Package – shown that we are willing to clamp down on serious crime. Cracking crime will require a strong and systematic continuation of the efforts against both serious and less serious crime.

Make this lower case.
