S1M-1890.1 Roseanna Cunningham (Perth) (SNP) :  Crime— As an amendment to
motion S1M-1890 in the name of Mr Jim Wallace (Crime), leave out from
"welcomes" to end and insert "asserts that since 1997 the UK Government and
the Scottish Executive have failed the Scottish criminal justice system and
the Scottish people in (a) presiding over an increase in both the levels of
crime and the fear of crime, (b) providing insufficient numbers of police
officers at the front line, (c) failing to alleviate the serious public
concern over the levels of youth offending and (d) overseeing a collapse in
morale in the Scottish prison system and calls upon the Scottish Executive
to bring forward a coherent programme which will both tackle the major
problems currently being experienced across the Scottish criminal justice
system and deliver a safer Scotland for everyone."

taken by the Scottish Executive to combat crime."
