Policing and Crime Bill

The aim, if it can be achieved, is to have an acceptable behaviour contract before going on to anything else. Having guidance for people like police officers is a much better approach than trying to articulate this exactly. Certainly when I was the captain of a ship, I much preferred to have an outline of what my admiral or commander-in-chief wanted me to do. I then got on with it and delivered it within certain parameters rather than through specific guidance. Things like that work a lot better. What we propose here will be extremely useful and will achieve what we need, which is to look after these youngsters. As I have said, it is an integrated approach. This is not the only element and we are looking at the other aspects.
