Evaluation of crime reduction schemes
BRE Crime Risk
Management Team has a wealth of experience in evaluating crime reduction
and community safety projects. Our approach incorporates both quantitative
and qualitative measures, including statistical analysis of facts
and figures and interviews with key personnel.
Examples of
types of schemes that we have evaluated include:
· Home security services
· Domestic violence help lines
· Utilisation of project support workers
· Community engagement schemes
· Youth diversion schemes
· Outreach workers
The evaluations
include examinations and analyses of:
· Process evaluation, concentrating on implementation and
delivery issues
· The impact on the number and type of crime/incident/behaviour
· The costs and benefits
· Inputs, for example the training and resources of staff
· Management and delivery
· Publicity initiatives
· Displacement issues
Our service
can assist local authorities and CDRP representatives to make realistic
decisions regarding their projects by assessing:
· Which projects are working and which can be discarded
· How to measure the success of projects
· Whether the objectives of the projects have been met
· Whether they are cost effective
· The strengths and weaknesses of the projects
