Delivering safer communities: a guide to crime and disorder reduction partnerships (Originally published in February new to website 16th July 2008)
Crime and criminal behaviour has direct and significant links to the health of local communities – dealing with crime is good health policy. Primary care trusts (PCTs) in England have had legal responsibilities related to the reduction of crime and disorder since 2004. There are some areas of excellent practice, but in general only lip service has been paid to the new regulations. It is important that PCTs take their responsibilities seriously and this Briefing explains how the Home Office’s new document, Delivering safer communities: guidance for crime and disorder reduction partnerships and community safety partnerships, can help them do so. The legal responsibilities also apply to local health boards (LHBs) in Wales.

Youth Crime Action Plan (15th July 2008)
The youth crime action plan calls for more work to stop children from getting involved in criminality. It calls for cross-governmental work on 3 tracks: get youths off the streets late at night, provide intensive support for troubled families and levy tougher, more visible community payback sentences for young people convicted of crime.
