Close the Gap between the 10 neighbourhoods with the highest crime rates and the city average per 1,000 population

Aim:  To reduce the gap between the city rate/1000 and the rate for the 10 priority neighbourhoods using the 2013/14 out-turn as a baseline

Agreed to retain existing 10 but to review before 16/17 taking a risk register approach

Violence related Indicator

Aim:  The ENTE and Alcohol harm reduction group will be looking to identify a new indicator that looks to link in with the Families with a future outcome

Further proposals to be brought back identifying control measures and activity types which would enable the Board to track progress

Number of professionals in receipt of DASH training

Aim:  To track the numbers of people in the city who have been in receipt of DASH training.  The training fits in with the city’s aim to raise awareness of domestic abuse but also to raise awareness of services available to victims of domestic abuse

Needs to reflect impact of training and how the impact of the training can be measured

Increase in referrals to Domestic Abuse services

Aim:  To obtain further evidence of the increased awareness of domestic abuse and available services.  Any target increase will be negotiated with the service provider as part of their contract.  It is proposed that this indicator will be supplemented by the monitoring of first time referrals to PDAS

Further consideration to be given to how sexual crime within DA is dealt with and the effects of DA on young people in the household.  A proper risk assessment approach is required and clarity on what expectations are.  Refer to Violence Related Harm Group.

Number of vulnerable victims assessed as appropriate for support by the ASB Victim Champion Service

Aim:  To track the number of people who do engage with the service.  What defines engagement is to be determined by the Community Safety Team

Agreed

% of vulnerable ASB victims whose quality of life score has improved by using an Outcome/

Empowerment Star tool

And

Service User Satisfaction

Aim:  To look at what impact the vulnerable victim service has directly on clients who use the service by measuring ‘distance travelled’ from point of entry into the service.  To map the client’s overall distance travelled, the service will focus on some or all of the following –

·         Health and wellbeing

·         Safety

·         Support networks

·         Housing

·         Finances

·         Legal Issues

·         Children

·         Confidence and self-esteem

People who have used the service will at point of exit be asked to feedback on the impact that the service has had.  As a new indicator 2015/16 will be used as a baseline setting year

Agreed

Serious Acquisitive Crime (monitor levels only)

Aim:  Safer Plymouth will continue to receive monitoring updates on the levels of serious acquisitive crime throughout the year

Agreed

Community Rehabilitation Company Offenders sentenced to more than 1 day – less than 12 month licence

The Dorset, Devon and Cornwall CRC have in place a number of process related measures that will be monitored internally.

It is suggested that as well as ‘levels of reoffending’ as a measure, that Safer Plymouth could monitor the measure the CRC has in relation to offenders on more than 1 day/less than 12 month licences – who are known to be the most likely to reoffend.  The CRC must ensure that a minimum of 75% of this cohort do not go back to court for revocation of an order at any time.  This would be viewed as a positive ‘outcome’ for offenders that they don’t have their licence revoked/return to prison, and would demonstrate that the CRC is putting in quality interventions to prevent such occurrences.  Further, and significantly, anything less than 75% carries a considerable penalty (£1.5M a quarter).

Position statement to be included on future agenda and considered prior to performance measure being finalised

Hate Crime

It is proposed that there will be retained some indicators that relate to Hate crime. These are currently under discussion as part of a performance review within the Learning and Communities department.

The current indicators relate to the increase in reporting of Hate crime, and the satisfaction rates of those people reporting the hate crime.

Agreed
