The first duty of the state is to protect its citizens.
Reform UK will restore visible policing, much tougher sentencing for serious and repeat offenders – including mandatory minimums, and an uncompromising approach to crime and antisocial behaviour.
We will deploy stop and search to get deadly weapons off our streets, and keep people safe.
We will rapidly build prison capacity to ensure no violent criminals are released early due to overcrowding, and that judges hand criminals the sentences they deserve.
Victims will come first, not criminals. The law will protect those who obey it, and punish those who break it.
Safe streets are the bedrock of a civilised society.
