Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime
"Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" was a British political slogan associated with New Labour. It was used in a 1993 speech by party leader Tony Blair to the Labour party conference[1] and was seen as an attempt at triangulation, with Labour using the slogan to attack the traditionally "tough on crime" approach traditionally favoured by the Conservative Party. An example of this approach was the introduction of anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.[2]
