Crime

Crime and dealing with the people who commit it can be a complex challenge for communities to tackle, whether this is low level and pervasive behaviours or serious and highly destructive behaviours; both have significant impact on communities. Where poorly managed by the agencies concerned, the quality of life for everyone in the neighbourhood, regardless of their choice of housing type, can suffer increasing crime and fear of crime.

To effectively manage crime reduction it is necessary to work with the triad of dimensions:

Victims & Offenders as shown below.

Community agencies need to know how to successfully engage with criminal justice during case management and resettlement of offenders, how to develop preventative strategies which hold victims needs at the centre and how to make places safer. The keys to effective working in crime reduction are information exchange and multi-agency partnership working.
