Tony Blair has unveiled new measures to tackle anti-social behaviour as he steps up his 'respect' agenda.

The prime minister used a keynote speech on Tuesday to detail a range of new policies and approaches to give communities more power.

Denying he was seeking to return to a "golden age" of the past, Blair said he wanted to take powers further to "get on top of 21st century crime".

Blair said a radical approach was needed to restore the liberty of "law abiding" citizens.

David Cameron said: "We need to use the good sense in our communities, and support it. Tony Blair's recycled crackdowns miss the point.

"This issue is too important to be dealt with by 'eye-catching initiatives' designed to get newspaper headlines.

"It's about getting to grips with the real problems, tackling the long-term causes of our society's loss of respect.

"That's why we're putting forward our real respect agenda - based on our core values: trusting people, and sharing responsibility.
