[QUOTE="jesta, post: 37837, member: 195"] [img]http://www.davidosler.com/cameron,%20david.jpg[/img] "David Cameron will set out the Tory fight against crime. David Cameron warned that tackling crime in Britain would take a generation as he lashed out at Labour's "knee-jerk" law and order reforms. The Tory leader moved to set out a long-term strategy to change behaviour, starting in the home - with potential curbs on violent video games - and at school. But he insisted short-term measures were also necessary to end the early release of prisoners from overcrowded jails - threatening to put criminals two to a cell. Speaking as he prepared to outline a Conservative "mini-manifesto" on law and order, Mr Cameron criticised Labour's "one-dimensional" approach to crime. "We are never going to deal with crime unless we look at the broader context and say 'Yes, tough laws, strong action on the police, but also action to strengthen our society'. "And that includes, I think, video games and things like that where we do need to think of the context in which people are growing up."
