In August 2012 the Bedford Borough
Community Safety Partnership produced a crime and disorder
strategic assessment to help identify local priorities for
inclusion in the Community Safety Partnership Plan.
The 2013 strategic assessment details the
findings of the annual strategic assessment process.
Using this assessment the partnership developed the following
priority areas for action;
Aim 1 – Tackle the
issues which increase the likelihood of re-offending and targeting
prolific offenders.
Aim 2 – Reduce Anti
Social Behaviour
Aim 3 – Reduce incidents
of Domestic Abuse
Aim 4 – Tackle Crime and
Disorder by reducing drug dependency and alcohol misuse
The 2012/14 Community Safety Partnership
plan shows how the partnership plans to tackle these
priorities.
Domestic Homicide Review 2011
Domestic homicide reviews are carried out to
make sure lessons are learned when a person has been killed as a
result of domestic violence (domestic homicide).
In order for these lessons to be learned as widely and
thoroughly as possible, professionals need to understand fully what
happened in each homicide, and most importantly, to identify what
needs to change in order to reduce the risk of such tragedies
happening in the future.
As a result of a domestic homicide that occurred during 2011,
Bedford Borough Community Safety Partnership undertook a
Domestic Homicide Review to
identify the circumstances that led to the death. The
Executive Summary of the Domestic
Homicide Review identifies the key findings.
