CJS 2010 to 2015 Government Policy: Crime Prevention
The issue that is being discussed in this policy is that any sort of crime in the societies
is not tolerable. In the society, it is not just the human beings who will be in trouble but also
the society. Over the years, crime has decreased dramatically but there are still existing
victims and the crime itself that are also modifying. Effective crime prevention will always
linger to be important as new crime emerges. The purpose of the police and other key
partners is to lessen the occurrence of crimes in the society. Crime prevention for protecting
human beings as well as the society they are living in. Rate of crimes should be reduced for
the safety of the entire society.
The background of the crime prevention policies of UK had come up with new
approaches for fighting crimes (Reynald and Leclerc 2017). The approach was established in
March 2011 where the police and their partners were given excess freedom for carrying out
their jobs and making use of the discretion. Secondly, the victims must be put first in the
priority list for more effective responses to anti-social behaviour (Reiman and Leighton
2015). The effective measures for tackling the anti-social behavior were penned down. This
policy was established in May 2012. Thereafter, in December 2012 established the
consultation of community remedy. The purpose of this policy is to ask for views for the
introduction of the legislation so that it permits the crime commissioners and other policing
bodies to give victims of low-level crimes and anti-social behavior. The anti-social behavior
will give its view regarding the punishment of the offenders (Tilley 2014). However, for
combating the crimes, approaches are introduced that includes a lot of power from the
Whiteball to the local communities (Newman and Clarke 2016). The police officers will
execute the major part of this job as they have been given stronger freedom to their jobs and
the public have more power to hold them.

For decreasing the level of crimes, community triggers were created for managing and
handling the behavior of the anti-social. Community safety partnerships are used by the crime
and police commissioners for working out with the social approaches while dealing with the
issues. The issues consist of drug, alcohol misuse and re-offending. Thereafter, national
referral mechanism have been established for making the situation easier for the benefit of all
the various agencies (Weisburd, Farrington and Gill 2017). These agencies include cases of
trafficking and corporate cases. Getting access to advice and allocating information regarding
the potential victims for accommodation and support. It produced new crime strategies for
organizing and reducing the rate of crimes. The strategies make it easier for the
commissioners to chalk out the plans for reducing the level of crimes. Street-level crime
maps can form to give the public updated information regarding the activities and occurrence
of the incidents on the streets (Wortley and Townsley 2016). This is done as it can confront
the performance of the police.
Crimes that occur in the societies are of various kinds. Therefore, there are crimes
relating to children and young people. These crimes can be prevented as well and should be
similarly as the other crimes. Firstly, schemes should be formed and implemented that will
permit anyone with reference to a child (Crawford and Evans 2017). The purpose or aim of
this is to find out if someone related to their lives have a documentation or record of the child
sexual offences (Tilley 2014). Hate crimes should be legislated for preventing the rate of
crimes. Hating the crimes will make the society aware of the nature of crimes occurring.
Crimes can be linked to children, adults and other human beings who are related to the
society and are living in it. For stopping cash payments legislations must be created
(Newman and Clarke 2016). This is because that cash is used to purchase scrap metal and
reforming the regulation of the scrap metal industry for preventing unprincipled or immoral
dealers purchasing stolen metal. Thus, if these policies and legislations are carried out and
