Crime prevention
West Cumbria is a
low crime area with a high detection rate on crime. We have many
examples of best practice – leading to improved outcomes for local
people. Criminals from outside the area who try to commit crime
here tend to regret it.
Priorities for West Cumbria
- Violent crime including domestic abuse
- Criminal damage and anti social behaviour
- Misuse of drugs and alcohol
- Casualty reduction
- Public perception of crime and disorder and their engagement in
the solutions
- Ensuring areas experiencing higher crime and disorder reduce to
what is more normal for West Cumbria as a whole (Priority
Localities)
In addition we have also made burglary a
priority, not because there are major burglary problems,
but to ensure preventative measures are in place as more people are
vulnerable during recession.
