NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH 2008

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER COMMUNITY IN LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND

In 2008 the Neighbourhood & Home Watch Week commenced on 16th June 2008 for one week, and focussed on developing safer communities using the key objectives below:

• Doorstep Crime

  • Casey Review June 2008

    The Casey Review concludes that people do not believe crime has fallen and think the law is stacked in favour of offenders' rights and that the justice system is currently seen as "distant, unaccountable and unanswerable. It makes 32 proposals to tackle this, including:

    Community sentences become more "visible and demanding".
    Elderly victims of crime may get anonymity in court, with similar special measures for disabled victims and people who fear they will face reprisals for speaking up.
    More information on the outcomes of court cases and the punishments offenders serve.
    It suggests the government should consider contracting out enforcement of community work from the probation service.
    Standardised powers for police community support officers.
    Stripping the Home Office of responsibility for producing national crime statistics, with the task handed to an independent organisation instead.
    Citizens should be trained and equipped to play a stronger role in tackling crime.

    The report also highlights the need for a "public commissioner on crime" to champion people's concerns within government, and a new performance target to measure public confidence in the system.
