Seasonal alcohol related crime and domestic abuse expert online chat.
Online chats are an opportunity for practitioners to put questions to a panel of 'experts' in the field of crime reduction and community safety. The advantage of an online chat is that you don't have to leave your desk to access a wealth of combined knowledge and experience in your lunch hour! On Tuesday 9th October 2007 between 12.00 and 14.00 the Home Office will be joined by a panel of experts from a range of backgrounds who will be addressing the question above. It will also be an opportunity to share information about what you are doing in your area to help reduce these types of incident. |  |
For more details on each of the expert panel click here but in brief they include:
- Martin Goodall -Police & Partnership Standards Unit within the Police & Crime Standards Directorate, Home Office
- Samantha Ingram - Violent Crime Unit, within the Crime & Drugs Strategy Directorate, Home Office
- Diana Barran - Chief Executive CAADA (Co-ordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse)
- DCC Brian Moore - ACPO lead on Domestic Violence
