True crime; Crime & criminology; Sentencing & punishment

Britian Tough on Crime? provides numerous examples of Britains Newspaper headlines which illustrate that:;- community supervision and offender rehabilitation programs do not work;- Crime is a choice not a disease and the anti-prison ideology of our justice elite provides criminals with a licence to offend;- leniency encourages crime;- our justice system is indifferent to the impact that crime has on victims and the public sentencers ignore the evidence that prison works to protect the public;-

sentencing has become an empty ritual;- many judges are out of touch with the effects crime has on the public;-

the last 60 years of sentencing policy in the UK has made crime easier, safer and more rewarding;

Britain has been made a land fit for criminals;

Britian Tough on Crime? reveals the justice system's preoccupation with the criminal and indifference to victims and the public.

After leaving school David Fraser spent four years in industry, followed by a short period as a teacher. For the next 27 years he served in the Probation Service, on the front line and as a manager. He worked in busy Inner London magistrates' courts as well as in prisons in the capital and the south-west. Subsequently he worked as a Criminal Intelligence Analyst with the National Criminal Intelligence Service (now the National Crime Agency) for many years. For the last 40 years he has campaigned for the sentencing laws in Britain to be changed to ensure the public is protected from persistent and violent criminals. He is married with two grown-up children and two grandchildren and lives with his wife in the west-country.
