Developing a balanced programme
Developing a balanced programme
Research underlines the importance of tackling crime problems through a balanced
package of measures that combines short and long term measures and involves action
across a range of fronts. In the case of business and retail crime, this is likely
to include:
Targeting persistent offenders
Enhancing security of the most vulnerable shops and businesses
Intensive work with first time offenders or young people at high risk of offending
Plotting what is planned or in progress will help to double-check that your programme
contains that balance.
As well as interventions and initiatives that the partnership and partners will
take forward, there may well be opportunities to mobilise others to take supporting
action. The 'who can help' page highlights many groups with an interest.
