deal with anti-social behaviour and alcohol related violence. |

Chief Constables would be directly accountable to new directly elected
commissioners. 5,000 extra police officers would be appointed each

be given more freedom to use forceful acts to defend their homes. 20,000
more prison spaces would be created. |

Democrats |
The
whole plan for identity cards would be ended. The money saved doing this

technology would be used to free up police officers so that they could
spend more time on the streets. ASBO's would be enhanced with ASBO Plus.
A new Justice Department would be created to oversee the work of courts
