The Theme Group the 'Coventry Community Safety Partnership' aims to reduce crime, the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour. The group has representatives from Coventry City Council’s Community Safety Team, Coventry Teaching Primary Care Trust, West Midlands Police, Youth Offending etc.
Long-term outcomes:
• People will feel safer and more confident as there is less crime and anti-social behaviour
• There will be less harm caused by illegal drugs and alcohol
• Neighbourhoods will experience less environmental crime including graffiti, abandoned vehicles and flytipping
Short-term priorities:
• Reduce crime through well targeted activity
• Ensure our streets and neighbourhoods feel safer by reducing alcohol related crime and rowdy/nuisance
behaviour
• Work with families and individuals causing concern in local neighbourhoods through tailored
programmes
• Promote community cohesion and tackle crimes which are motivated by hate
• Reduce violent crime, including domestic violence
• Improve communication with local people and communities to reduce the fear of crime and ensure local
people feel confident in reporting crime, build confidence in the criminal justice system and improve
support for the victims of crime
• Work in partnership to change the behaviour of the most persistent offenders and reduce re-offending
• Prevent the setting of deliberate fires and reduce the number of accidental deaths which can happen as
a result, especially across priority neighbourhoods
