Tilley Awards 2008
10th anniversary of Tilley Awards
The Tilley Awards publicise the use of problem-oriented approaches to crime reduction and what can be achieved by tackling crime in a different and more strategic way. As crime reduction has moved away from being seen as the sole responsibility of the police, so the awards have sought to encourage different agencies to work together in partnership to create sustainable solutions to long term, recurring problems within local communities. The awards emphasize the skills that are often overlooked in crime reduction practice, but that have proven to have real results in terms of crime reduction and prevention. In particular, good and thoughtful problem analysis before planning a response and the evaluation of the project are recognised skills in these awards.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of these prestigious awards sponsored by the Home Office there are some exciting changes.
The three key changes are:
- the first prize for the national award has increased to £10,000
- we are introducing 10 regional awards based on the 10 Government Office/WAG areas
- entries received by 29th February will be eligible for the pre-marking service and receive feedback and recommendations on how to improve their application before the entry deadline on 25th April
The 2008 Tilley Awards have now closed and we have received an unprecedented number of entries. These are now being reviewed and the regional winners and national short listed projects will be announced on this page at the end of May. The three national finalists will then be announced at the end of June and the winner revealed at the UK Problem Oriented Partnerships Conference on 9-11th September. Watch this space to find out when tickets are available to book your place at the Tilley Award Gala dinner and see who wins the grand prize of £10,000!
