A patchwork of policies

Alan Travis reflects on the Conservative's approach to crime and justice

Pages 4-5 | Published online: 07 Apr 2011
 

Abstract

Tory law and order policies just ain't what they used to be. It was not that long ago that the Conservative party annual conference used to enjoy a post-lunch ritual of baiting successive Conservative home secretaries over their opposition to capital punishment. For added measure Edwina Currie would thrill the Tory representatives, and the political sketchwriters, by waving a pair of handcuffs in the air.
