It lays out five Liberal Democrat priorities:

  • More police officers on the beat
  • Taking back town centres by giving communities more powers to close pubs and clubs that cause trouble
  • More honesty and clarity in sentencing
  • More work and training in prison – to cut reoffending
  • Better compensation for victims – paid for by prison work

You can find out more about the campaign at the campaign website at www.wecancutcrime.com – which you can also sign the party’s online petition.

You can also read or watch a subtitled video of Ming’s introductory speech via his website.
