Summary
The report details the enormous progress made since the crime strategy was first published in July 2007. It shows that lives have been saved through tackling knives and guns; homes have been secured against burglary; and communities have been relieved of the menace of anti-social behaviour. But now we also face tougher economic times. The 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.
