Tory Central Office thought that Law&Order/ Police/Crime was a sufficient wedge issue that they might finally get some local officials in Labour heartlands with Police & Crime Commissioners.
The fud effect is in full view in the name.
Most victims (of crime) want sufficient redress, but 'Police & Justice Commissioner' doesn't have the dog whistle of crime.
