Crime Reduction - Helping to Reduce Crime in Your Area

Home Office Good Practice Seminars

Partnership Working Seminar

Partnership Business Model (PBM)

Adam Beaney, Home Office Partnership Support Team

Key points of the presentation

  • The Partnership Business Model (PBM) is an approach to problem solving and partnership working to enable better decision making

  • PBM intends to build on what already exists rather than replacing current systems

  • PBM consists of:
    - an agreed data quality standard (analytical tools package),
    - minimum standards for problem solving,
    - a secure and standardised process for using and sharing information (data sharing and storage facilities),
    - a way for Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) to access the latest information on crime reduction (good practice database), and
    - a systematic method for analysing and reducing certain types of crime and disorder (crime reduction schemas and problems solving methods).

  • PBM will be coordinated by the Home Office and implemented and managed by the Regions, with CDRPs adopting standards through guidance and IT provision.

  • The IT tools provided will be configured to work with existing systems

  • Middlesbrough is the test bed site; other pilot sites are being recruited to a set of assessment criteria.
