'Cutting Crime - a new partnership' - the Home Office crime strategy

The Home Office crime strategy sets out the main lessons learned over the past ten years and looks forward to how we can build on these lessons to address new crime challenges.

The crime strategy, first published in July 2007, identifies a number of key areas for focus in 2008-11.

Cutting Crime two years on - an update

Cutting Crime (two years on) is an update to the national crime strategy.

Published in May 2009, it details the enormous progress made since the crime strategy was first published in July 2007.  It shows that lives have been saved through tackling knives and guns; homes have been secured against burglary; and communities have been relieved of the menace of anti-social behaviour. 

But now we also face tougher economic times. The strategy update (linked below) recognises that we face new challenges, and that the public’s expectations are rightly high. 

It sets out a refreshed and sharpened set of priorities that show how together we can keep communities safe and increase public confidence.

A short summary of the updated crime strategy, aimed at local delivery partners, is also available below.
