Reform MP Lee Anderson has urged Labour to "star arresting proper criminals" in a bid to restore people's trust in policing.
The Home Secretary previously said Britain's riots showed there has been a loss of respect for the police and "people feel as though crime has no consequences".

In a newspaper article, Ms Cooper said: "As Home Secretary, I am not prepared to tolerate the brazen abuse and contempt which a minority have felt able to show towards our men and women in uniform, or the disrespect for law and order that has been allowed to grow in recent years.
"As well as punishing those responsible for the last fortnight’s violent disorder, we must take action to restore respect for the police, and respect for the law."
She added: "From anti-social behaviour through to serious violence, too often people feel as though crime has no consequences, as charge rates have been allowed to fall and court delays grown. That has to change.
"We will work with the police, rather than just blaming them from afar, to tackle problems and raise standards.
"And we won’t engage in the kind of shameful behaviour we have seen from some senior politicians and pundits who sought to undermine the legitimacy and authority of the police, just at the time they needed our full backing to restore order to the streets.

"When the police put on those uniforms, when they go out in the service of our communities, and when they uphold the high standards we expect of them, they deserve respect from every single one of us.
"There is lots of rebuilding to be done in our communities after the damage of the last fortnight. Respect for the police, respect for the law, and respect for each other is where we must start."
