Policing and Crime Bill

Proceeding contribution from Melanie Onn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Policing and Crime Bill.

I am a little concerned that we seem to be going down the route of accepting that physical crime is no longer happening. In my constituency, violent crime is up by 24%, and it is worth acknowledging—[Interruption.] It is worth acknowledging on both sides of the House—Government Members should stop pointing their fingers at the Opposition—that there is still a significant issue around physical crime. People are worried about the lack of a police presence on the street and about everything being moved online, and such a focus could really undermine that police presence.
