Answered by Anneliese Dodds
The duty will not require police and crime commissioners to prioritise specific (a) crime types, (b) localities or (c) minority groups. The duty requires specified public bodies, when making strategic decisions, to consider actively how their decisions might help to reduce the inequalities associated with socio-economic disadvantage.
