"The 5,000 most prolific, anti-social and disruptive offenders in the country will be targeted by their local police and criminal justice agencies from today, Home Secretary David Blunkett said, as he visited Leeds and Bradford. The scheme will cut crime and make communities safer.

As it goes live in every part of England and Wales, law enforcement agencies will go on the offensive to target the small core of prolific offenders which are responsible for the most crime. The initiative is a key plank of the Home Office�s five-year strategic plan to build safer, more confident communities."
