Baroness Stowell of Beeston
The HMIC report includes a survey of the public, and victim satisfaction is up from 82% in 2010 to 85% in March of this year.
Lord Avebury
My Lords, what increase in the volume of neighbourhood crime does my noble friend think would be attributable to the failure of the Government to implement minimum unit pricing of alcohol?
Baroness Stowell of Beeston
One measure that this Government have introduced is the late-night levy, which comes into force when pubs and clubs decide to stay open beyond midnight. We have taken real steps to address this kind of activity by ensuring that people take responsibility for the decisions they make in their local area that might lead to an increase in consumption and local crime.
