The Queen's speech has set out new plans to tackle crime.

Tough new measures on drugs, anti-social behaviour and terrorism were introduced alongside bills paving the way for new correctional services.

Government Response: Home Office

David Blunkett, home secretary, said: "How we deal with offenders is a crucial component of our strategy to reduce crime. The Management of Offenders and Sentencing Bill would re-balance sentencing by reinforcing rigorous and effective community punishments, as proposed by the Carter review of correctional services.

"It would build on the major reforms already underway as a result of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and allow the Home Office to ensure that new advances in technology are better used to protect the public and victims of crime. We will also be publishing a draft bill on youth justice to introduce better sentencing of juveniles with a sharper focus on preventing offending."
