Home Secretary’s new aims to combat petty crime

0 comments 30 April 2007
John Reid, the British Government’s Home Secretary, is targeting companies like Apple to join a summit to help fight crime in Britain.
With figures for petty crime rising every year (up eight per cent in the final quarter of last year), Reid wants the companies behind highly visible products like the iPod and PSP to concentrate on anti-theft functions.
"New technology, lifestyle changes, new commodities and new gadgets mean that the criminals continually move on," Reid told the BBC's Sunday AM programme. "So when we defeat them on mobile phones, they move on to Sat Navs and then on to iPods."
