Beyond the Causes of Crime by Oliver Letwin (9781903219393)

Description - Beyond the Causes of Crime by Oliver Letwin

Just as in economics, we need to discover the causes of wealth rather than the causes of poverty, so in social policy what we need to discover are not the causes of crime but the causes of its opposite. This can only be achieved by fostering the social integrity of supportive communities in which there is mutual respect between individuals. Crime destroys communities. Broken communities foster crime. This is a cycle of deprivation which we must replace with a cycle of responsibility if we are to create the kind of society in which we want to live.
