"Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" was a British political slogan associated with New Labour. It was used in a 1993 speech by party leader Tony Blair to the Labour party conference [1] and was seen as an attempt at triangulation, with Labour using the slogan to attack the traditionally " tough on crime" approach traditionally favoured by the Conservative Party. An example of this approach was the introduction of anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. [2]
