·            Give Sussex’s citizens greater protection if they have to defend themselves against intruders in their homes, or if they stop a crime being committed in the street.

·            Create fifteen new rape crisis centres across the country, and give all existing rape crisis centres stable, long-term funding.

·            Grant West Sussex new powers to fight booze-fuelled antisocial behaviour, and stop supermarkets selling alcohol at below cost-price which is destroying law-abiding local pubs and fuelling low-level crime.

·            Replace the invisible and unaccountable Sussex Police Authority, making the police properly accountable to a directly elected person who will set priorities for local policing.

·            Publish detailed street-by-street crime statistics online every month, in an open and standardised format, so people know the real level of crime in their neighbourhood.

·            Make it clear that anyone caught carrying a knife in a public place can expect to be prosecuted and sent to prison.
