Labour has recently launched a new campaign which puts forward recommendations to scale back CCTV cameras and make it harder for the police to use DNA to catch criminals. This has revoked anger in the Tory party as they are claiming Labour is being weak on crime. The Tories have maintained for a long time now that violent crime has risen which is backed up by a analysis in the House of Commons library produced in response to a request by a Member of Parliament.

This is yet to be published in full but suggests that offences against individuals rose from 618,417 in 1998 to 887,942 last year.
