First Minister Jack McConnell today set out Labour's name and shame policy, plans for new instant ASBOs and a commitment to double the number of community wardens to over 1,000.
Labour also plans to establish over 300 community police teams to cover
every area in Scotland with a named senior police officer who will
report to the communities that they serve.
McConnell said: "David Cameron would rather hug a hoodie than back
tough action on anti-social behaviour. But there is a chance for him
and for the other parties in Scotland to prove that they are serious
about law and order.
"Will they commit today to backing Labour's name and shame policy? And
will they commit today to back our plans for instant ASBOs. Tackling
crime and anti-social behaviour is essential to building safer
communities.
"In the last Parliament we delivered new powers for the police and
councils, including dispersal orders, parenting orders ASBOs for under
16s and closure orders. But the battle against anti-social behaviour
goes on."
