Minister: Denmark not safe enough
11. mar. 2010 13.22 English- We still need to increase the sense of safety in society, thinks Minister of Justice Lars Barfoed.
Det Konservative Folkeparti has had the Minister of Justice post for nine years, but there's still work to be done.
- Progress has been made. But I don't think Denmark is safe enough. It is unacceptable that there are still citizens who experience shooting in the streets. We have to increase the sense within society of safety and trust more than what we have hitherto succeeded in doing, says Lars Barfoed.
For many years, the recipe for an increased sense of security in society has been harsher punishments, but Lars Barfoed plans to increasingly shift the focus towards prevention.
