Stop And Frisk

The most recent Prime Minister's Questions was dominated by rising crime figures. Labour, obviously, tried to link the rise to educed police budgets. The Prime Minister insisted the rise was the result of better reporting procedures and nothing more.

According to the Spectator, however, knife crime is on the rise both in Scotland and London. Both Scotland and London used to make extensive use of Stop and Search. But the police in both jurisdictions reduced their use of the practice.

Thankfully, London's mayor, Mr Khan has come to his sense and has ordered increased stops. Hopefully America will follow suit.
