• Youth Crime Action Plan
• Matt Collins

14
Youth 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

15
Key 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.

16
Implementation

• 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

Confidence 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

36
Why confidence?

• Perception Gap
• Flanagan Casey Reviews
• Policing Green Paper
• Single Confidence Target

37
The 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

38
What will success look like the national
picture?
39
What 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
40
Partnership 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

41
Putting 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
42
Key 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?

Making a difference that people can see
They showed us how to get things done and I
think its changed us as people as well. Two
of the best things are that it feels much safer
