Welcome to August's bulletin of new material on the Crime Reduction Website.

Reducing Burglary Initiative (RBI)

The Reducing Burglary Initiative, which ran from 1999 until 2002, aimed to reduce burglary nationally by targeting areas with the worst domestic burglary problems and monitoring the cost effectiveness of the different approaches to find out what works best, in which circumstances. Five reports evaluating the effectiveness of the initiative have been published this month

• The impact of RBI in the north of England

• The impact of RBI in the south of England & Wales

• Strategic development projects in Yorkshire and The Humber, East Midlands and the East of England

• RBI cost-benefit analysis

• Evaluation of the Leeds distraction burglary project

Anti-social behaviour

A broad range of material on ASB has also come to our attention this month and from diverse sources - Together, Nacro, Sheffield Hallam University and the Home Office. Together they provide excellent background material for use in reducing ASB.

• Defining and measuring anti-social behaviour

• ASBOs and associated measures

• What works for victims and witnesses of anti-social behaviour

• How best to support a witness
