BRITAIN A NATION IN FEAR OF THUGS AND THIEVES
BRITAIN is living in fear of burglars, car thieves and muggers.

A special survey by the Daily Mirror reveals that law and order is now the greatest challenge facing Tony Blair.
People simply don't believe Labour's claim that things are getting better.

And that is not surprising as a staggering one in five say they have been a victim of crime in the last 12 months.
Such a figure is far higher than any in official surveys, but perhaps paints a truer picture of life in Britain.

In the view of 46 per cent, crime continues to increase despite Government statistics showing car crime and house burglary are down.
More than 60 per cent of us fear things will just get worse and 78 per cent have little or no confidence in the police.
