More community policing is welcome. It reduces crime and makes people feel safer.
However, there's a fundamental issue at the heart of law and order in the UK - where do you put the criminals once they're caught?
Yet another thing that doesn't work because of planning.

There are no teams in the Premier League it has been worse to support over the last 30 years than Everton.
