"Britons want protection from what they see as a rising tide of violent and immoral youth. Blair has made security against the 'yob culture' a core theme of his third term.

Hence the blizzard of initiatives pouring out of Downing Street with attached targets, shaming regimes and ring-fenced spending. Hence, too, the growing protest of those struggling to administer this empire."
