Crime & economy data
What does the data tell us...
In terms of crime we are seeing more and events linked to anti social behaviour and violent crime. These are often linked to social issues locally, we have little for the local population to do. Especially for the over 25 age range.
Large concentration of youth in the area with little to do.
The education stats (no qualifications) and the claimant counts / economically inactive stats match up.
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE SOME OF THESE AREAS
Developing
A Vision For Change
We believe in community activity and the benefits of bringing the local community together, more community events and increasing the access to our existing community assets would allow the community to socialise more and improve social interaction and opportunities to gain qualifications etc.
Gaining access to justice is also something many families are struggling with. We are encouraged to come forward with information on crimes, current and historic, yet the actual prosecution rates are low. Particularly for Sexual related crimes.
No Crime Prevention Meetings and when we did have them, hardly anyone attended. We need to review and look at how we can best reduce crime, and ensure justice for those who are victims of crime.
We believe activity led youth work in and around new facilities will reduce crime. There could be specific projects for those attending probation services.
A few solutions to tackle these issues...
