Tough but smart justice to cut crime. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 In Missouri, they intervene early with rigorous rehabilitative programmes to reduce offending. We are delivering this in our youth justice system. Robust parenting orders, transforming an outdated custody estate, new military-style academies and investment in community support. And more to come. 👇

The Sentencing Act is now law. Prisons are under pressure. Without reform, the system risked running out of places for dangerous offenders. A complete breakdown of law and order. The Sentencing Act will ensure that never happens, while keeping communities safe.
