EDM 994: Petty crime

That this House acknowledges the increasing concerns of constituents in Birmingham and the West Midlands regarding the rise in petty crime, which undermines community safety and confidence; recognises the impact of these offences on individuals, local businesses, and the overall quality of life; calls upon the Government to implement a robust strategy to tackle petty crime effectively across the country, including through supporting local police forces with additional resources and funding, and fostering stronger collaborations between the police, local councils, and community groups to address the root causes of petty crime; and urges the Home Office to review and significantly strengthen existing policies to act as a deterrent against such offences, so protecting the Government's commitment to the safety and security of all citizens.
