Reduce crime by 15%, and further in high crime areas, by 2007-08. Target contributing to the Criminal Justice System PSA (Local Public Service Agreements, p.19). Local authorities and the police must consider the crime and disorder implications of every aspect of their activities and the need to do all they reasonably can do (Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998). The planning system should be an important contributor to the aim of reducing crime (PPS1, para 16; para 27[iii]) (Design and Crime SPD, para 2.1). Crime reduction planning to promote perceptions of community safety, active lifestyles and access to healthy nutritious foods (Salford Healthy Weight Strategy p7) In a 2004 survey, Salford residents placed crime as the most important issue that needs to be tackled in their local area (Salford’s Community Safety Strategy, p.20). The whole community should be involved in crime reduction initiatives (Salford Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership). CRIMINAL DAMAGEBy March 2008 reduce criminal damage by 6% (Salford Community Safety Strategy, p.10). By March 2006 Reduce arson related fires by 15% (Salford Community Safety Strategy, p.10). PROPERTY CRIMEOne of the most effective ways to prevent property crime is to make the property itself as secure as possible (Safer Places: The Planning System and Crime Prevention, p.34). Access through the front of properties accounts for only 15% of domestic burglaries therefore it is vitally important that measures are taken to improve security of the back of properties as far as possible (A Guide to Alleygating IN Salford, p.4).

PERSONAL CRIMEBy March 2006 in Salford reduce assaults and woundings by 6% (Salford’s Community Safety Strategy, p.8). By March 2006 in Salford reduce robbery by 11% (Salford’s Community Safety Strategy, p.8). Ensure the personal security concerns of pedestrians are addressed (PPG13, para 75(6). Reduce robberies by 14% by 2005 (Urban White paper para.7.28) In preparing their development plans and determining planning applications local authorities should work with transport operators and other organisations to improve personal security across the whole journey (PPG13, para 73[6]). ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND DRUGS AND ALCOHOL RELATED OFFENCESThere is a requirement for initiatives to reduce the level of alcohol related crime and violence in towns and cities (RES NW pg 47). It is estimated that 75% of crimes in Greater Manchester (66% nationally) are related (either directly or indirectly) to drugs and/or alcohol misuse (Greater Manchester Against Crime [GMAC] cited Salford Drug and Alcohol Action Team Audit 2004, p.54). Address the problem of anti-social behaviour in public places and at public transport facilities (Greater Manchester Transport Plan, para 2.16) By March 2006 reduce juvenile nuisance incidents by 7% and 21% by March 2008 (Salford Community Safety Strategy, p.10). By March 2008: Reduce the number of licensed premises selling alcohol to under eighteens by 50%; Reduce re-offending amongst the drug using population by increasing the number of people entering treatment via the criminal justice system and increasing the number of successful completions by 15%; Increase the retention of drug using clients in treatment by 10%; and Increase consultations with Salford residents about drug issues by 200% (Salford Community Safety Strategy, p.12) Identify key data around drug seizures, supply convictions & asset confiscation.
