Crime Levels: Statements.
Looking at the figures given by the Minister, one wonders what are the real causes of crime. I remember people talking 20 years ago about marginalisation, housing, poverty and unemployment. However, over the last five to seven years marginalisation has been rooted out to some extent. Record numbers of houses have been built and there is huge employment compared to the situation 20 years ago. I do not see those three issues as the causes of crime.
