Crime Prevention: Urban Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what evaluation framework is used to measure the effectiveness of the Safer Streets Summer Initiative.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office have developed a multi-strand analytical approach to measure the progress of the Safer Summer Streets Initiative. This includes:
- PCCs and police forces providing the Home Office with monthly light-touch monitoring data and qualitative insights related to the initiative.
- Home Office analysts will analyse data already reported to the Home Office via the Police Annual Data Requirement (ADR) on crime volumes and positive outcomes related to relevant offences.
- Light-touch process evaluation activity will also be conducted with a limited number of forces to understand how the initiative has been delivered and take learning forward to improve future activity and inform policy.
This approach has been communicated to PCCs, including a drop-in session held on the 23 June and a meeting chaired by Minister Johnson on the 24 June.
