Since coming to power in 1997 the Labour government has created over 4,300 new criminal offences. That’s around one for every single day in power.

apparently when Tony Blair was Prime Minister 27 new criminal offences a month were being created but under Gordon Brown’s premiership it has accelerated to 33 a month.

Some have likened this to ‘legislative diarrhoea’.

Importantly has it reduce the fear of crime or solves great issues?

I can’t say I feel any safer. Do you?
