UK 'failing' on causes of crime
BBC News reports on Policy Exchange's Less Crime, Lower Costs.
"The government has failed to carry out its election pledge to tackle the causes of crime, says a world expert on crime reduction."
"Professor Irwin Waller said UK spending and policy had focused on enforcement - police, courts and prisons - and neglected crime prevention measures."
"A report for Policy Exchange think tank estimated crime would cost the UK £78bn this year - equal to £3,000 per home."
