	Get tough on crime - The correct definition from Information Gospel
		Proponents of "tough on crime" measures often describe those not in favour of such measures as being "soft on crime".
		Critics of such approach often voice the concern that this approach often results in prison sentences excessive for the crime and neglects to provide the funding and the logistics to support the tough on crime agenda.
		A variant on the slogan tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime was used by Tony Blair in his first speech as Shadow Home Secretary to the 1992 Labour Party Conference.

	Defending Justice - Modern Tough on Crime Movement
		The "tough on crime" movement refers to a set of policies that emphasize punishment as a primary, and often sole, response to crime.
		The authors document how the modern "tough on crime" movement was part of a larger effort to increase votes for the Republican Party, and more significantly, to redirect State policy away from social welfare toward social control.
		It is important to note that while the modern "tough on crime" movement- and the resulting incarceration boom-can be traced to late 1960s and early 1970s, many activists justifiably argue that the U.S. government has always had a "get tough" policy beginning with Native colonization.

		In a series of tough-on-crime decisions announced within minutes of each other, the Supreme Court in one morning resolved in ways large and small two of the most controversial legal initiatives of the 1990s.
		In a 5-4 vote, the Court upheld the validity of California's "three-strikes" law — the statute that enables prosecutors and judges to sentence repeat offenders to up to life in prison for relatively minor crimes.
		By a 6-3 margin, the Court ruled that since the information posted is truthful, and since it arguably serves a legitimate government interest in allowing a community to inform itself about the whereabouts of sex offenders, those offenders must suffer whatever humiliation the online sites create for them.

		While the subject of crime is not the hot issue it once was, a look at crime-control policies and their effectiveness provides some interesting findings.
		In contrast, in Iowa (Gore) the incarceration rate increased by 72 percent along with a modest drop in crime of 10 percent, while Minnesota (Gore) had a 40 percent increase in their incarceration rate, but a crime drop of 19 percent.

		Miss McVey said: "Whilst I support any measures that will deal with the growing problem of anti social behaviour and crime in general, I have to ask just how honest these promises are, and how the Government intend to deliver their promises.
		One of the biggest complaints I receive on a daily basis is that of crime, youths causing annoyance and anti social behaviour.
		It is apparent that police resources are already stretched to the limit, yet this Government, while promising to be tough on crime and the causes of crime are in fact prepared to cut policing further in an attempt to minimise any electoral damage in the run up to the General Election".

		It does a marvellous job of exposing the absurdity of touting as bold and innovative solutions which have been proven to be unworkable, untrue or even harmful.
		The editorial refers, in part, to the Conservative legislation championed as "getting tough on crime," and that "if you do the crime, you will have to do the time." Hot button items, no doubt, but as sociologist Bernard Schissel points out, what the Conservatives are proposing has worked nowhere in the world.
		Upon close scrutiny, the crime plank (and the other four) in the Conservative platform are myths.

	George Graham Reviews Rebecca Pidgeon's "Tough on Crime"
		One of the album's definite highlights is the title track Tough on Crime, which expound on the drawbacks of having an affair with a comic book superhero.
		Her new CD Tough on Crime operates on several levels -- the music's rhythmic groove and her voice give the CD instant appeal, but there are also the intelligent, often clever lyrics, and the creative musical backing that weaves between synthesizer pop and jazz influence.
		After starting on the ideas for this CD in 2002, she is finally out with Tough on Crime, and except for the shortfall in sonic quality, it's a thoroughly worthwhile and appealing album.

		However, some states, strapped for cash, are starting to reform their sentencing laws for drug offenders and nonviolent criminals in order to save space for truly dangerous felons.
		One-fourth of prisoners are drug offenders, and most have not committed violent crimes; handing them 50- to 200-year sentences does little to reduce crime rates.
		Sentencing reforms make it difficult for judges to equalize total penalties among criminals who commit the same crime.

		The trouble is that, absent decent representation, the state cannot distinguish between the degenerate and the morally upright.
		Persons of modest means who are accused of crimes find themselves in an asymmetrical contest, an unequal battle: The state brings its full weight to bear in an attempt to imprison them; their lawyers -- often young, inexperienced, and overbooked -- are outgunned.
		It is, rather, being tough on crime by ensuring that those who go to prison are the ones who deserve to be there.

		In a speech delivered Wednesday in the north Paris suburbs -- where a new outbreak of street violence has raised fears of a repeat of last year's riots -- Royal launched a stinging attack on the government's record.
		She charged that tough anti-crime policies led by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy -- the top centre-right contender in next year's election -- had failed to prevent an explosion of violence in poor French suburbs.
