As someone who spends his life working with difficult people in difficult places Shaun Bailey understands that violent crime and anti-social behaviour are dragging the place down.
Shaun argues that there needs to be a fresh approach. This includes more police officers on the beat, 24/7, which is being piloted by the local Conservative Council. But it also involves a greater focus on those issues that encourage people to turn to crime in the first place.
The Labour Government is obsessed with social engineering rather than strengthening families and discipline. Shaun believes that it is through positive role models, opportunities and a return to strong family values that that people can be steered away from the path to crime.
Better still, Shaun can prove it. His charity has helped dozens of young people in West London to turn their lives around. Youngsters who were unemployed, on drugs and living lives of crime, are now living new lives with good jobs and real prospects.
