Operational Manager Of Suncastle Council Community Safety Partnership

In this assignment I will be examining and investigating the effects of crime on individuals, communities and business and discussing the role of services that support victims of crime and witness. There are a lot of people and communities that are impacted negatively by crime. However in the public service, there are approaches used in order to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. This is done by using websites and wardens to keep track of recent crimes. Also I will be writing about how both public and third sector

Talking about making our communities safer, judges have increasing sentences to the offenders and over 90 per cent of offenders who fail to comply are now returned to court for tougher punishment. Re-offending rates are down. There has been a major reduction in the number of re-offences committed by both adults and juveniles a 22.9 per cent fall for adults and an 18.7 per cent fall for juvenile. Public confidence in the criminal justice system has risen in recent years, although corrections still need to do more to demonstrate to communities that the system is on their side in delivering justice. Personally, there is still too wide a gap between the reality about crime and the public’s perception.

Mentioned the impact on the victim, society and communities and the transport police but could do with more detail and facts or references statistics.

Ron Clark describes situational crime prevention as ‘a pre-emptive approach that relies, not on improving society or its institutions, but simple on reducing opportunities for crime’. He identifies three features of measures aimed at situational crime prevention, firstly that they

Fear of crime, especially random violence and new wave of "superpredators" by young Americans, is among the nation's greatest concerns (Lacayo 28). It has served as the motivation for countless numbers of people to change their lifestyles, take self-defense classes, install home security

Also the report will comment on the problems that are associated with recorded crime figures, including the limitations of recorded crime figures and then how they can be linked back to the statistics from the Lowville Community. Another potential reason that this report will discuss is the dark figure of crime other concepts such as cuffing. This report will additionally look at how media representations affect how crime is seen and what this makes the residents think also. Finally this report will touch upon the crime filter that exists within every constabulary and community. With all this evidence and arguments this report will eventually explain why the crime figures reported by the Lowville Constabulary do not appear to reflect the experiences of crime that the elderly residents have experienced in their community.

The Culture of Control, Crime and Social Order in Contemporary Society, David Garland (2001) is certainly one worth the read. Garland, one of the leading criminologists, begins the book with a fantastic insight on ‘history of the present’ of penological developments in the US, compares it with Britain in late 1970’s. He picks out indicative theories by Foucault and several examples to support his arguments. He portrays an intricate argument about the rise of crime control and punitiveness. Garland continues throughout to link new developments in both countries to identify each countries crime control stratergy and the effect of their strategies. He ends it with further theories and opinions on crime control and social order. Garlands purpose of writing the book is to give a deep analysis and an absorbing read of crime control in USA and UK to his readers. The purpose of the following review is to give the readers a brief understanding of some issues by Garland on crime and social order in contemporary society.

The aim of this dissertation is to assess whether residents of Cliff Terrace, Treforest are reassured by neighbourhood policing in their community. This aim will be achieved by carrying out primary research in relation to feelings of reassurance amongst the residents. Evidence collated by Tuffin et al in 2006 suggests that certain acts when carried out by the police can significantly reduce fear of crime and increase levels of reassurance amongst the public. This evidence will be applied to the residents of Cliff Terrace to examine its effectiveness. In theory those who have witnessed, or experienced evidence of reassurance policing, for instance high visibility policing or a problem solving approach from the police etc. should have higher levels of reassurance than those who have not experienced or witnessed these acts (Tuffin et al, 2006). In order to meet this objective one must explore the relevant themes and literature surrounding neighbourhood policing and reassurance policing.

This essay examines the Anti-social behaviour Orders, that were implemented in the United Kingdom, and disputes the fact that it socially excludes already ostracized and disadvantaged persons within society. This is due that it only removes the problem behaviours from particular environments and doesn’t address the cause of the offending. Firstly, this essay will address antisocial behaviour orders and the will give a brief overview of there implementation and there indented outcome. It will then go onto discuss crime preventions theories that where taken into consideration when designing theses orders, such as developmental crime prevention, primary prevention and differential association. The essay will then review the

Situational crime prevention constitutes primary crime prevention measure. This is to say that it is aimed at deterring crime before it occurs. Situational prevention, like other similar primary prevention measures, focuses on subduing crime opportunities instead of the attributes of criminals or even potential criminals. It seeks to curtail opportunities for certain groups of crime by increasing the risks and difficulties associated with them and significantly reducing the rewards. Situational prevention is made up of three key elements: a sound theoretical framework, an authoritative methodology for dealing with specific crimes, and a collection of opportunity-reducing approaches (Felson & Clarke, 1997).

Data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) from 2013/2014 have been used. The CSEW is a face-to-face survey asking households about their perception and experience of crime in the 12 months preceding the interview. The information at my disposal are part of a special unrestricted access teaching dataset produced by the UK Data Archive. Out of a sample of 35,371 households chosen in England and Wales for the actual survey, I had access to a 25% sample of 8,843 households. Representative of households were chosen through the Postcode Address File which excludes aggregative accommodation such as residential halls and prisons.

According to the Australian Government of Criminology (2017), Crime prevention is ‘an effective approach to reducing crime. It is internationally recognised as an important component of a national approach to building viable communities.’ This essay will examine the case of the kings Cross shooting that occurred in 2012, involving the Indigenous community, Sydney police and Society. it will cover the importance of Crime prevention and the strategies in which are ideal to maintain the safety and security of the community and the offender partaking in the crime. This essay will focus broadly on the perspective of Social Crime Prevention, and the importance it obtains to prevent crime from occurring.

The importance given to certain crimes in the daily newspapers and other media sources shows us proof to the fact that crime is a topic that has the public’s interest and is a focus of their worries (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001). It goes on to discuss the fact that crime as reported on by the media increases the public’s levels of fears and that there is little or no correlation to actual levels of violent crime in our society today.

The focus of this paper will be based upon different crime prevention strategies implemented by members of the communities, local and government authorities.

Crime exists everywhere in the world – in rural and urban areas in many countries, in the East and West, and among all types of people. This has led many government officials, especially those in urban areas, to focus largely on the reduction of crime among their respective constituencies and has led others to speculate on the factors that influence the amount of crime and how those factors can be controlled. Crime has been around since man and there is no doubt that it will continue to be around, until there is an existence of a perfect world. But for now, we
