13- Youth Crime Action Plan
- Matt Collins
14Youth Crime Action Plan
- The action plan focuses on three key areas
- tough enforcement where behaviour is unacceptable
or illegal - more non-negotiable support to address the
underlying causes of poor behaviour - better prevention to tackle problems before they
become serious or entrenched
15Key YCAP Policies
- Operation Stay Safe using existing legislation
to ensure young people on the street late at
night whose behaviour places them at risk are
taken to a place of safety - Street-teams of youth workers and ex-offenders to
engage young people involved in crime and ASB - Increasing after-school patrols to tackle
anti-social behaviour and disorder at school
closing time - Placing Youth Offending Team workers in police
custody suites so that young offenders can be
assessed and directed to appropriate services at
the earliest opportunity - Making young offenders feel the consequences of
their actions by expanding YOT reparation schemes
during their leisure time, including on Friday
and Saturday nights - Family Intervention Projects to work with the
most vulnerable and problematic families with
children at risk of offending, with
non-negotiable elements and sanctions for a
failure to engage - Implementation of the 'think family' reforms to
provide an integrated and appropriate service
response to all families at risk by the end of
the funding period.
16Implementation
- Additional funding of almost 100 million for
measures to cut offending in the short-term and
prevent it in the long-term - All areas of England receive additional funding
to enhance support for families with most
entrenched and complex problems - 69 receive additional funding deliver an
intensive programme that balances enforcement to
tackle the problems on our streets and prevention
measures to ensure future generations do not make
the same mistakes. - Expert practitioner support for LAs through YTF
and Families Delivery Team - Support LAs in fostering innovative practice in
response to local needs and circumstances - Disseminate learning within and between local
areas

35Confidence and the crime strategy
- 4 Key Objectives
- tackling not tolerating anti-social behaviour
- securing homes and protecting property
- saving lives through tackling violent crime
- countering organised crime
- 5 Priority Approaches
- taking early action to prevent crime
- turning the tables on offenders
- delivering responsive, visible justice
- putting the public in the driving seat
- taking action at the right level
- This new approach will ensure
- real reductions in crime and ASB
- increased public confidence in how we tackle
crime and ASB
36Why confidence?
- Perception Gap
- Flanagan Casey Reviews
- Policing Green Paper
- Single Confidence Target
37The Challenge
- Single confidence target for police forces
authorities - Do you agree that the police and their partners
are dealing with the crime and anti-social
behaviour issues that matter in your local area? - A hard-edged measure about tackling local
priorities - Partnership working at its heart local surveys
need to be CDRP based. - Links to local area agreements (NI21 27).
- Linked to perceptions of anti-social behaviour
38What will success look like the national
picture?
39What will success look like locally?
- Neighbourhood policing that is integrated with
other local services - Responsive and accountable police that deliver
to a clear and consistent standard - Informed and actively engaged public who know
what is being done to tackle their priorities and
the consequences for offenders - Support for victims and witnesses that puts
their needs first - A workforce (police, local authorities, courts
etc) that is properly trained, skilled and
supported to deliver a quality service that meets
the needs of the public - Decrease in perceptions of anti-social behaviour
Outcome
40Partnership working at the heart
Working collaboratively and creatively
At the national level
At the local level
At the neighbourhood level
- Build on and share existing
- good practice
- Use existing levers to
- maximum value (LAAs, CAA
- etc.)
- Embed confidence /
- perceptions within all
- strategies / action plans etc.
- Hold each other to account
- (local surveying will enable
- this)
- Vital role of local leaders
- Join up communications
- Neighbourhood issues require joined-up
neighbourhood solutions - Co-produced solutions between the police, local
agencies and the community are most powerful - Multi-agency public consultation works.
- Responsibility of the Government to
- drive the confidence /
- perceptions agenda
- - live by our own principles
- - support local delivery
- identify and share best
- practice
41Putting the public first
- The public want to have excellent local services
in which they have confidence. - To achieve this we need to
- Listen to the public
- Take action to address local priorities
- Tell the public what we have done
The public are our greatest asset in tackling
crime and making communities safer
42Key issues for discussion
- Leadership role of CDRPs in raising confidence
- Linking up with the wider confidence agenda
- LAAs and PSA24
- What works and doesnt work?
- Delivering improved confidence in a difficult
- economic climate
- Does confidence have long term traction?
