Despite rises in some offences, such as those involving child pornography and drugs, the overall volume and severity of crime reported to the police has been falling steadily. Some politicians would celebrate, and move on to more pressing problems. Not Stephen Harper, Canada's Conservative prime minister. Having made law and order a central plank of his campaign, his government is using the majority it won in May's general election to enact an omnibus crime bill that bundles together nine pieces of legislation that did not make it through parliament during Mr Harper's two preceding minority administrations. The Safe Streets and Communities Act, which will probably be approved by the House of Commons this week, has been lambasted by its critics as a backwards step that puts punishment and retribution before the rehabilitation of prisoners.
