HOWARD LEAGUE FOR PENAL REFORM'S COMMUNITY SENTENCES CUT CRIME CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 138, tabled 20 November 2006 by Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 106 members.

That this House applauds the Howard League for Penal Reform's Community Sentences Cut Crime campaign; supports the development of well-resourced and structured community sentences which can cut crime by 14 per cent. by bringing down the rate of re-offending and at the same time help to heal the damage caused by crime, creating a safer society where people take responsibility and make amends for their actions; and calls on the Government to support effective community sentences and programmes.
