High Peak CSP - What we do

Every three years the High Peak Community Safety Partnership has to produce a Crime and Disorder Reduction Strategy.

In order to produce the 2008-11 strategy an audit process was carried out which:

Reviewed the past three years’ crime and disorder data to identify any patterns
Compiled the results of community consultation and surveys
Identified local priorities
Considered national, regional and county targets

Following this extensive audit and consultation process four priorities and two cross-cutting themes have been identified. These are:

Priorities

To reduce domestic burglary
To reduce vehicle crime
To reduce anti-social behaviour
To reduce violent crime

Cross-cutting Themes

To reduce drug and alcohol related crime
To target prolific and other priority offenders

The cross cutting themes are not specific to one particular type of crime but are related to a number of crime types. For example, drug users may commit burglary or car theft to obtain money to buy drugs and violent crime is strongly linked to alcohol misuse. Prolific and priority offenders are responsible for committing a large amount of crime, and may commit more than one type of crime.
