answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text <p>Tackling rural crime is clearly important but it is not for the Home Office to set targets for local policing. We have introduced Police and Crime Commissioners to ensure democratic accountability for local crime and policing matters. They are best placed to set priorities for tackling crime in their local area, including addressing the needs of rural communities.<br><br>Local policing priorities are determined by police and crime commissioners, following consultation with the chief constable and the public, and are published in their Police and Crime Plan. We have transferred responsibility for crime statistics to the independent Office for National Statistics, introduced a new Crime Outcomes Framework to provide greater transparency and abolished 'one size fits all' performance targets. Under this Government, the police have just one objective: to cut crime.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 24/03/2015 15:23:01 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2015 answer text <p /> <p>This Government is committed to putting victims and witnesses first in the criminal justice system and to ensure they have access to high-quality, effective and timely support to help them cope and, as far as possible, recover from the effects of crime.</p><p>We are working with the Parole Board to increase the number of hearings which Parole Board Panels hold using video-link technology at oral hearings. This has the positive benefit of giving more victims the opportunity to deliver their victim personal statement locally rather than incur the cost, inconvenience and potential distress of travelling to the prison in which the Parole Board hearing is taking place.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 18/03/2015 16:26:56 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

The City of London Police will second police officers to the Food Crime Unit as part of their role as the national lead for fraud. It is the responsibility of the College of Policing's national policing business areas to appoint, as appropriate a national business policing lead for this work and to secure the engagement of forces nationally with this initiative.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 29/10/2014 11:12:41 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
