• Emerging Crime Strategy

12
Vision

• Ensure safer communities, continuing to reduce
  crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour,
  particularly the most serious crimes, including
  by tackling the drivers of crime, increasing
  early intervention and reducing re-offending.
• Improve the law-abiding majoritys confidence in
  local agencies who deliver community safety, and
  perceptions of how crime affects them, by
  involving communities in dialogue about what
  matters to them and how their priorities are
  being tackled.
• Change the balance of the relationship between
  Government and delivery partners, with a new
  sense of working in partnership, through a
  genuine focus on outcomes and increased local
  flexibility to deliver those outcomes.

13
End to end approach

• Early Intervention tackling risk factors to
  reduce numbers of young people becoming
  offenders
• Situational prevention reducing opportunities
  for offenders to commit crime
• Enforcement ensuring that when people do
  commit crime, it is detected, and there is a
  penalty appropriate to both the offender and the
  offence
• Reducing re-offending managing known offenders
  to prevent future re-offending

• New Community Safety PSA

Approach to the PSA Summary Statement

• Ensure Safer Communities Continue to reduce
  crime and anti-social behaviour through a focus
  on the issues of greatest priority in each
  locality, tackling the most serious crimes and
