What do the researchers do?
The Community Safety Unit (CSU) has two researchers, who support
the work of the Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs), enabling them
to more effectively target local crime and disorder issues. The
work of the researchers involves:
- Monitoring crime levels across the county, and identifying
local crime trends.
- Monitoring the impact of crime reduction initiatives.
- Identifying crime hotspots for targeting, deploying and
allocating suitable crime reduction responses.
- Through pattern analysis with other local data, helping to
effectively understand crime distribution and explore the
mechanisms, dynamics and generators to criminal activity.
- Using maps as a media to communicate crime statistics for an
area and the responses that are being implemented to tackle crime
problems.
The most recent target monitoring reports for each CSP may be found
on the Publications page.
