Approaches to ReduceCrime,Disorder and Antisocial
Behaviour
Key Words
Intelligence – Information about crimes and offenders that the police and other authorities can use to reduce crime.
Crime Trends – The increases and decreases in crime over a period of time.
Initiative – An act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation.
Crime
Crime is in all areas of society, there are no parts which are crime free. It is important for strategies to be put in place to reduce crime by recording and
categorising. This allows comparison and statistics to establish patterns.
Intelligence-led Policing
The national Intelligence Model (NIM) is a code of practise governing the way police use intelligence. It came to operation in January 2005. Their overall aim
is for all forces to use the same way of classifying and storing Information so that it can be easily shared by other forces. NIM is primarily used for allocating
police resources, to plan and work in co-operation with partnerships in the community and to manage performance and risks.
Identification Of Crime Trends
The Intelligence-led policing is central to the National intelligence model strategies because they need to be able to identify and minimise trending crimes
such as the ‘Sprouter’ trend; which affects young people on social media.
Targeting Off Profiling And Priority Offenders
Police use surveillance to detect reoffenders, officers can then target them with evidence.
Analysis is where and when crime have occurred. It shows that a small number of offenders are responsible for for a large amount of crime in an area.
Intelligence-led policing is an effective way of catching criminals in the act or preventing crime from happening.
Creating Problem-solving Police Initiatives
The national intelligence model crimes are classified into three levels.
Level 1 – local issues as found in a police division or command unit.
Level 2 – Regional Issues
Level 3 – National Issues
Information used by the NIM is reports of criminal activity, criminal intelligence and Information from external agencies.
Automatic place recognition assists in the arrests of road and vie chaos criminals but also detection of other crimes.
