Here is the actual story, from the DCSF - strangely enough, nothing in there about "24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes"; even read the Youth Crime Action Plan, and can't find any mention of it there either. |
Agreed, scaremongering by the tabloids...
But anything from a .gov.uk website is government propaganda:
Quote:
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: “Today is an important milestone in our fight against youth crime. We have made real progress and early indicators show it is making a really positive difference to the lives of young people and communities across the country. “But we are not complacent. There is still much work to be done and looking ahead to the next year I am committed to ensuring our young people and communities are on the right track and our streets remain safe for everyone. ”We know that the vast majority of young people recognise right from wrong and make a positive contribution to our society. There are a minority however who persist in anti-social behaviour and some in more serious criminal activity – their behaviour will not be tolerated.”

Blatant electioneering IMO...
