There is just over 10% of the prison population that are foreign criminals, they should deport them and we would have more room for home grown criminals. Freedom of movement has had an effect on the number of foreign criminals, as well as some good things, but even scrapping FOM wont stop criminals entering the country. There was a case in the news yesterday, a Romanian was caught stealing 3 days after entering the country (legally, as he was seeing a friend who was "giving him a job"), he also wants to stay after his sentence, shouldn't be an option. Harsher sentences for violent crimes, community service for petty crimes like shoplifting under a certain amount, the problem is , with legal aid the cost to the government, well us really, is so high that cases usually dropped before they start. So what is the answer ? Death penalty for murder or child rape would be a start.
