The figures show that after years of neglect, we are turning the tide on theft on our high streets.

Every theft, regardless of the value of the goods, will be treated as the serious crime it is.

Respect Orders will ban perpetrators from the places they blight, force them to confront the causes of their behaviour and make breaching one a criminal offence with serious consequences, including prison.
