Crime & Disorder

Statistically, Warwickshire remains one of the safest places to be in the United Kingdom.  Nevertheless there is a level of crime across the County which needs to be reduced by statutory agencies and local communities working together.

Crime and Disorder

This was recognised in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 which created 376 crime and disorder reduction partnerships across England and Wales.  Each partnership is based on a local authority area and is charged with reducing crime and the fear of crime.
 
The Act requires the "responsible authorities" in each area (the Police and Local Authorities) to carry out an audit of crime and disorder every three years, analyse the results and devise a strategy for tackling the priority issues affecting local communities.
 
New powers to control antisocial behaviour were created by the Act and are supported by further Acts and legislation.
 
The Partnership combines community, voluntary and business organisations, Warwickshire County Council, Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, Warwickshire Police, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, Probation and Health Services all working together to reduce crime and the fear of crime.
 
The Partnerships three year strategy (2005-2008) came to an end in March 2008. The priorities which the Partnership has been focusing on include:
 
  • Acquisitive crime (Domestic & Distraction Burglary, and vehicle crime.)
  • Violent Crime
  • Substance Misuse (Drugs & Alcohol)
  • Race & Hate Crime
  • Public Reassurance
  • Anti-Social Behaviour
  • Business crime
 
The NABSCOP Annual Report 2007/08 gives detailed information about the work of the Nuneaton and Bedworth Safer Communities Partnership over the last year, and the initiatives and projects that it has been involved in to reduce crime, fear of crime and substance misuse.  Performance against some extremely challenging targets has overall been very positive.

Section 5 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 as amended by sections 97 and 98 of the Police Reform Act 2002 made it a statutory duty for local Authorities, Police, Fire and Rescue Service and PCT's to establish a multi-agency partnership to reduce crime, disorder and drug abuse in their local area. This strategy documents identified key areas of concern and suggests a range of initiatives to tackle them. Please click on the link below to view the latest strategy.  (2.61 MB)
