The federal government wants to take a wider approach to crime prevention that also addresses mental health, addictions, youth employment and affordable housing, Fraser said.
I was all ready to condemn the gov't for its failure to recognize the social determinants of crime, then at the end of the article they did acknowledge it.
I wish media would put some of the most important info at the start instead.
The specific promises are for more prisons, "tougher" sentences, and more incarceration of people not yet found guilty. Perhaps that bit at the end will prove to be more than just pretty words, but this government hasn't earned that much trust so far.
