We work closely with the North
West CDRPs and DATs at county and unitary level in the
region.
The overall objective of these partnerships is to increase public
confidence, reduce crime, the fear of crime, anti-social behaviour,
drug-related crime and the harm caused by illicit drugs, alcohol
misuse, violent crime including serious youth violence, serious
acquisitive crime, anti-social behaviour (ASB) and reduce
re-offending. We focus on supporting delivery, community safety outcomes
and performance improvements by the CDRP and DAT
partnerships.
Cutting Crime A New Partnership
2008-11
In July 2007, the government published
Cutting Crime: A New Partnership 2008-11
which described a fresh approach to tackling crime and increasing
community safety. This set the overarching strategic
framework for crime and community safety from 2008/09 to 2010/11. This
was followed in October by a new set of public service agreements
(PSAs), which set out the government's high-level
objectives.
On Tuesday 12 May 2009, the Prime Minister and Home Secretary launched
the crime strategy update:
Cutting Crime: Two Years
On
.
This strategy update recognises that we face new challenges and that
the public's expectations are rightly high. It sets out a refreshed and
sharpened set of priorities that
show how together we can keep communities safe and increase public
confidence.
National Community Safety Plan 2008-11
A
revised National Community Safety Plan 2008-11
has now been published. The plan has been refreshed to reflect the new
vision and objectives outlined in the new Crime Strategy. There
is a strong continuity between the six themes of the
previous
National Community Safety Plan 2006-2009
and the community safety priorities set out in the new set of Public
Service Agreements (PSAs). The key Community Safety PSAs are PSA
23,
24,
25
and 26
with key links to other PSAs such as PSA 14
and 16.

The 2008-2018
drug strategy
The drug strategy aims
to reduce the harm that drugs cause to society, to communities,
individuals and their families. This comprises four strands of
work: protecting communities through tackling drug supply,
drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour, preventing harm to
children, young people and families affected by drug misuse,
delivering new approaches to drug treatment and social
re-integration, public information campaigns, communications and
community engagement
The Alcohol
Strategy (June 2007)
The Department of
Health and the Home Office jointly launched an updated government
alcohol strategy, setting out clear goals and actions to promote
sensible drinking and reduce the harm that alcohol can cause.
The strategy sets out to: minimise the health harms, violence and
antisocial behaviour associated with alcohol, while ensuring that
people are able to enjoy alcohol safely and responsibly.
It specifically
focuses on the minority of drinkers who cause the most harm to
themselves, their communities and their families. They are: young
people under 18 who drink alcohol, many of whom are drinking more
than young people did a decade ago ,18–24-year-old binge
drinkers, a minority of whom are responsible for the majority of
alcohol-related crime and disorder, harmful drinkers.
