In order to measure crime there is required to have involvement of all the agencies and

which they can apply the record and also can manage the safety alliance. The measuring of crime
is applies for framing the records and the statical approach through which the reduction of crime
and improvisation of the techniques can be made(Lee, 2019)

P4 Explain the impact of crime and disorder on communities
Crime is mainly the most disturbing elements which can affect the life, liberty and the
mental state of the person by which all the physical and the mental well being is adversely

loose their trust on all the police system. Other then this when the crime are being seen that it
eventually make the persons to feel scared towards all the measures and the powering and their is
addressed that negative implicate, lack of trust is observed. All such repeated exposure of
criminal activities will increase the negative health outcomes and all such violence will make the
community to lessen their engagement in the public gathering and other neighbour activates.
This will also make the social peace to be disturbed and all the unfair acquittal to be seen through
unwanted violence (Hough and Stanko, 2020).
P5 Outline the main legislation that sets out organisations’ responsibilities in crime reduction
In order to manage and prevent all the major crimes in the country their is observed that
so man y regulations which are being addressed and applied by the government through which
all the protection and the safety compliance of the person is managed. One of the important act is

P7 Outline the factors that underpin crime reduction strategies
In United Kingdom, there are various factors which are being followed by the
government for the crime reduction. Among those factors some of them are listed here such as
targetting the causes of crime, discouraging the people who commit crimes by making them
realise that the cost of committing a crime is more than its benefit and increasing the hurdles for
the offenders by reducing opportunities to commit a crime. In context to the first factor which is
targetting the causes of crime, it states that the government should have a look at over the causes
of crime. For example, if the number of rapes are increasing in the country then the authorities
should focus on the causes which may occur due to less security or protection for the females. In
this instance if the authorities target at the cause and implement some more security measures
then the crime rate could be reduced. The next factor says that if the offenders are discouraged

by the government by implementing strict punishments such as hanging the rapist till death is the
sentence which will discourage people to commit rapes and this factor will ensure that the
punishment of the crime is severe than its benefit. The last factor says that if the hurdles are
increased for the offenders to commit crime such as increasing the security, protection and
implementation of severe punishments which will definitely reduce the number of crimes in the
country. The authority can commence the counselling programme for the offenders in order to
change the behaviour of the people towards crime which will create a positive environment and
which will reduce the destructive thoughts to commit a crime (Currie, 2019).
P8 Describe a range of local and national strategies used to tackle crime and disorder
The National Crime Prevention Strategies is a long-term programme which create certain
conditions in which the opportunities and the motivation of committing a crime is reduced by the
authorities. It also transforms the capacity of the criminal justice to deal with the crimes. The
local and national strategies used to tackle crime and disorder are as follows:
 Increasing the hurdles for the offenders to increase the efforts they make to commit a
crime.
 Increasing the risk for the offender to complete the crime.
 While increasing the risk for the offender, the opportunities and the benefits should also
be decreased that the offender expects out of crime.
 The excuses should be removed so that the offenders gets limited for their action
justification.
 The authorities should move a step ahead towards technology advancement which will
ensure that every crime scene is recorded which will make it quite evident for the
authorities to keep quick decision making with appropriate evidence. This will reduce the
chances of offender to defend themselves.
 Awareness should be created among the civilians to report the crime in order to impose
quick actions to stop the crime.
CONCLUSION

are being used by the government through efficient secretaries ans the law making which manage
the public peace and general liberty and morality. Crime reporting can be managed by applying

proper and systematic working through which all the records and the details of the criminal
