Crime Prevention
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to prevent crime.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
This Government has put crime prevention front and centre of our safer streets mission, which aims to halve violence against women and girls, halve knife crime, and restore confidence in the policing and justice system over the next decade.
In addition, the 2024-25 police funding settlement will provide up to £18.5 billion of funding for the policing system, supporting the police to undertake crime prevention.
