Crime Levels: Statements.
Enforcement of the law is an issue. The laws on the Statute Book must be enforced. I particularly refer to public order. I also refer to the knife culture that we are now looking at and facing up to. To stab someone requires personal close contact, and the nature and viciousness of such a crime are becoming far too acceptable in our society. We were all taken by a recent interview on the Marian Finucane radio programme with a retired garda who referred to this knife culture, something we have to face up to. The binning of the knife is something we should be actively promoting.
