1. Law and order

   In politics, law and order refers to demands for a strict criminal justice system, especially in relation to violent and property crime, through stricter criminal penalties. These penalties may include longer terms of imprisonment, mandatory sentencing, three strikes laws, and in some countries, capital punishment. Supporters of "law and order" argue that effective deterrence combined with incarceration is the most effective means of crime prevention. Opponents of law and order argue that a system of harsh criminal punishment is ultimately ineffective because it does not address underlying or systemic causes of crime. "Law and order" is a recurring theme in political campaigns around the world. Candidates may exaggerate or even manufacture a problem with law and order, or characterise their opponents as "weak" on the issue, to generate public support. The expression also sometimes carries the implication of arbitrary or unnecessary law enforcement, or excessive use of police powers.

Examples of law and order in a Sentence

   I think the protests are a wonderful, constitutional way for people to express their concerns.

2. Jordan CNN Jordan:

   We have to be concerned about a next intifada (uprising), and if that happens, that’s a complete breakdown of law and order and one that neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians will benefit from.

3. Brian Babin:

   Keeping citizens safe should be the top priority of every elected official, last year, we watched as cities across America were ravaged by violence and crime because their leaders repeatedly chose to abandon law enforcement and bend the knee to the radical Left. We are a nation of law and order, and we should be working to support police departments more, not less. City officials who willingly ignore the rule of law, fight to defund law enforcement, and allow chaos to reign supreme, should not be given federal funds – plain and simple.

4. Donald Trump for president:

   We must restore law and order on the border and respect the men and women of our police forces. I thank him for his support of my policies and candidacy for president.

5. Said Adejumobi:

   [The] education that Africa needs is one that is skills-based, technologically grounded and globally competitive, in a knowledge driven world, a colonially-molded education which litters the entire continent can hardly play that role. It's a law and order educational system meant to serve a specific form of political regime and society. Africa needs to reinvent its educational system towards a modern competitive age.
