LONDON, Jan. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair unveiled his "respect agenda" on Tuesday to deal with anti-social behaviors and restore respect in society.
Under the proposed plans, people could be evicted from their homes for three months if they are nuisance neighbors, the Sky news reported.
Police could get new power to issue on-the-spot fines of up to 100 pounds (180 U.S. dollars) to those causing disorders on the street.
Schemes offering support to parents struggling to raise problem children will be extended, with action taken against those who refuse help.
A National Academy would also be established to train social workers and other care agency staff about advising parents.
"There are a small number of families who are out of control and in crisis. It is those families whose children are roaming the streets and disrupting the classrooms. We have to help those parents and their children," Blair told the Sky news.
The prime minister, who wants neighborhood policing in every community within two years, said nightmare neighbors could be booted out of their homes for three months.
Other plans include putting procedures in place so residents can grill police and local authorities on their battle with young offenders and call for tougher action.
The proposals are part of the government's "respect agenda" which Blair has placed at the heart of his third term since he announced his election manifesto.
But the opposition has accused him of turning the country into a "nanny state." Enditem |
