To ensure crime was correctly fought a piece of legalisation was created. This is called the Crime and
Disorder Act (1998), this was made to help support crime victims, to give assistance to agencies to
ensure crime is being fought effectively and also to ensure proper sentences and orders are given to
criminals who have committed crime. The reason to create this legalisation was to ensure
communities are safe by putting reasonable sentences on criminals such as murderers. It was also
created to reduce the cost of crime to the tax payer. It’s also put in place to ensure that all the teams
across the public services are working together effectively to increase detection.
