Yes, I saw that Guardian article too. Maybe it's time to start privatising the police force too (alongside the health service, that is)??
But seriously...
I am, however, not hopeful that the more important and wider-ranging improvements will happen anytime soon.
They certainly won't if we don't at the very least talk about a better alternative. Better still we get out and do something (I'm a fine one to talk, I know - I don't even live in the UK anymore!): protest, agitate, raise awareness of a better / different way... the world (to me) is a much more worrying place than it was 10 or even 20 years ago - but 30 years ago and I thought it was all shit too (middle of thatcher's eighties) and it did definitely get better after that. So there is always some hope.

I certainly didn't mean to suggest that legislation is a better way towards reducing crime than increasing social justice. I'm also well aware of the funding cuts the police are suffering.
