What is this sector and how are we measuring it?
A lot of violent crime happens in very specific local areas. To tackle violence effectively, it makes sense to focus on the areas where violence is most likely to happen and to work with the people and organisations in those neighbourhoods. More specifically, this could include community safety partnerships; local authority neighbourhood and community engagement teams; neighbourhood policing; the housing sector; local voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sectors; community leaders; and others.
Due to the place-based focus of our work in this sector, it’s difficult to find a suitable indicator to track how neighbourhoods are doing nationally and over time that we can report here. In future updates to these statistics, we plan to investigate further whether a suitable indicator can be found.
