What is Safer Homes in Somerset? Our Mission Working in partnership, the Somerset Burglary Strategy aims to make our County the 'best in their class' in respect of combating burglary. We intend to achieve this by developing new and existing processes throughout the Criminal Justice System and between the partner agencies. Four themes that the partners will focus upon are: Primary Prevention Early intervention to prevent individuals from entering a life of crime. Situational Prevention Identification and targeting of victims and potential victims of crime. Identification and targeting of hotspot and potential hotspot areas of crime. Enforcement and Criminal Justice Bringing offenders to justice Secondary Prevention Identifying and diverting known offenders from a life of crime. Reintegrating offenders into society. The Partners:
Research into the victim, location and offender of burglary in Somerset carried out by the Police formed the foundation of this Strategy. From the research or profile of burglary carried out, the partners developed objectives around four strategic themes; Primary Prevention, Situational Prevention, Enforcement and Secondary Prevention. The themes focus on vulnerable people, vulnerable premises, young people and diversion and dealing with offenders. |
