People voiced their views on our Facebook page.

Gary Mitchell: “It’s not rocket science. Make prisons much cheaper to run. No TVs or other novelties. Make them somewhere where once you get out you’ll do anything to stay out.”

Rhiannon Sharpe: “Prison is better than home for these kids.They have a room, three meals a day,TV, games, mobile phones and comfortable beds, why would they not want to be in there rather than obeying the law away from prison? Time for a sharp shock, I say.”

Janet Gray: “Make all 16-19 year old males be in armed forces to earn discipline and self respect.”

Dan Slim Weston: “Stop picking on the driver as a target, yes, I understand it gets results and minor convictions and makes the books look good but a guy doing 34 in a 30 is not a priority when our police ignore burglaries at an alarming rate. I want to see investigations, not ignoring crimes.”

Angela Frater Blamire: “More police on the beat! Need them to be walking our parade of shops, high street and town moving drug addicts, beggars and alcoholics.”

Loyd Gordon: “Perhaps arrest the criminals instead of keep letting them get away with blatant stuff!

That would be a good move.”

Mike Giddins: “Make people accountable for their actions and not finding excuses for their behaviour.”

Kienan Casey Ullah: “10 years for knife crime. Stop going after drug dealers spend more time focusing on everything else like the car break ins.”

Chris Pittock: “More police officers doing actual police work would help. Currently they’re massively under-resourced. As a result, there seems to be huge amounts of low level and petty crime. At present they have to prioritise serious crimes on a reactionary basis. They have no time or spare capacity to detect and prevent less serious crimes. This has been caused by public spending cuts.”
