DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Home Office is on track to meet its 199 target of reducing vehicle crime by 30 percent over 5 years. The Vehicle Crime Reduction Action Team, which brought together different organisations including the car industry, police academia, local and central government, set a strategy and took an active interest in its implementation. The initiatives covered areas such as improving vehicle security, safer car parks, improving policing practices, better regulation of the salvage industry, targeting of criminals and increasing the awareness of motorists. Despite the successes, the number of vehicle crimes still remains high (2.1 million thefts of or from vehicles in 2003-04) and other challenges need to be addressed to further reduce such crimes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe nine chapters in this volume of Crime Prevention Studies are organized into sections on crime analysis, evaluation, theory, and implementation. Crime analysis: Ross Homel and Jeff Clark examine the role of intoxication in violence at pubs and clubs in Queensland, and demonstrate the preventive impact of a local code of practice. A study by Zachery Fleming, and Patricia and Paul Brantingham explores the site-specific and situational characteristics of auto-theft in British Columbia, and the resulting implications for prevention. Ronald V. Clarke and Pat Mayhew assess the effect of parking patterns on car theft risk in Britain, and they offer recommendations based on their findings. Evaluation: Nancy G. La Vigne reports that installation of a high-security, computerized phone system reduced both costs and inmate violence at New York City's Rikers Island jail. Crime reduction lessons from an evaluation of walkway demolition at a London (UK) public housing estate are presented by Barry Poyner. Theory: Derek Cornish uses the concept of a 'script' to examine how events and episodes unfold in the commission of crimes, and discusses the relevance of this type of analysis to situational prevention. Rene B.P. Hesseling's review of 55 published articles suggests that displacement is not an inevitable side effect of crime prevention programs. Implementation: In light of evidence that the social and situational approaches to crime prevention are incompatible, Daniel Gilling assesses the implications for multi-agency crime prevention initiatives. Marcus Felson proposes creation of a Crime Prevention Extension Service to bring situational prevention and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design into more widespread practice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report examines the success of the Home Office's policy of crime reduction in regard of vehicle theft. It sets out 12 conclusions and recommendations among them are: that the Committee believes that the Home Office should seek to raise public awareness of its' Car Theft Index and other data on the relative security of different makes and models of vehicles, perhaps by developing a Home Office standard; the Home Office will need to promote, with manufacturers, the development and installation of a new vehicle security measures arising from technological advances; data on car jacking and similar serious car crime incidents should be collated so the police can develop anti-crime strategies; the Home Office should encourage police forces to publicise car parks that are part of the Safer Car Parking Scheme; police detection rates for vehicle crime is low, with only 6% of thefts from vehicles and 13% of thefts of vehicles having been solved, the Committee wants the Home Office to encourage the police to raise detection rates; currently there are some 950,000 vehicles which are not registered or taxed, the Committee recommends the need for an accurate registration database to be kept by the DVLA.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on extensive research initiated by the UK Home Office, Reducing Crime offers an objective look at the effectiveness of criminal justice interventions in the reduction of crime. Bringing together information about where, for whom and at what cost these interventions are effective, the book examines alcohol prevention and drug treatment studies; courts, sentencing and police interventions; probation and prison interventions; and situational burglary and housing interventions. In addition to a cost/benefits analysis of each intervention, the book also discusses future research and policy directions.
