uin	188201
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Crime and risk is changing but this Government continues to believe that good neighbourhood policing remains at the core of the British model of how we protect the public. That is why we are increasing total investment in the police system by over £460m in 2018-19, of which more than £280m from increased council tax precept will go direct to forces to spend locally.</p><p>It is for operationally independent Chief Constables to decide how to best deploy officers in their force area to effectively serve and engage their communities and to build their trust and confidence. Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected by the public to hold Chief constables and the force to account; making the police answerable to the communities they serve.</p><p>HMICFRS has raised concerns about neighbourhood policing being eroded since the Government moved away from a centralised model. This year, inspectors found improvement but remain concerned about the balance between short-term response to demand, and longer-term prevention activity.</p><p>The College of Policing published guidelines on modernising neighbourhood policing in March 2018. This year’s HMICFRS effectiveness report recommended that forces review their approach by October 2018 against these standards. The National Police Chiefs’ Council has also established an implementation group to support forces.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 19/11/2018 18:33:50 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley
tabling member printed	Louise Haigh
uin	187078
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The likelihood of a crime resulting in a charge and summons can vary for several reasons. Improved crime recording by the police has resulted in increased caseloads and a changing crime mix. These include more complex crimes which take longer to receive an outcome, such as domestic abuse or sexual offences.</p><p>The Government recognises the impact that crime can have on its victims and we want offenders charged and brought to justice in the courts. It is the responsibility of Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to make sure criminal cases are investigated properly and together with the Crown Prosecution Service, ensure cases are charged where there is sufficient evidence, and it is in the public interest to do so.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 08/11/2018 15:37:46 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK’s updated strategy for countering terrorism, CONTEST, was launched on June 4<sup>th</sup> this year. We have been clear that it is a strategy for countering all forms of terrorism. The strategy reflects the findings of a fundamental review of all aspects of counter-terrorism, and includes lessons from the attacks in London and Manchester in 2017, to ensure we have the best response to the heightened threat in coming years.</p><p>One of those reviews, the joint Counter-Terrorism Policing and MI5 Operational Improvement Review, which took place following the attacks last year, said that there should be equivalence of processes in analysing and dealing with all kinds of terrorism, irrespective of the ideology that inspires them. This included recommending an increased role for the intelligence services on, in particular, work to counter extreme right-wing terrorism. The recommendations in the review were summarised in Lord Anderson’s assurance report which was published in December 2017. Work has been ongoing since then to implement the review recommendations. Lord Anderson has agreed to provide the Home Secretary with a stocktake on the delivery of the recommendations early in 2019.</p><p>The Operational Improvement Review recommended that the terminology we use should be specific to the particular terrorist threat, for example, extreme right-wing terrorism or Daesh-inspired terrorism. This recommendation was applied in the writing of CONTEST.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 08/11/2018 16:15:15 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>Since 2013 the Home Office has provided funding to a number of innovative local projects across the country. These projects are aimed at different groups with different risk factors making them vulnerable to being drawn into SOC. During that time, our interventions have reached hundreds of young people. We have funded four local intervention projects this year:</p><p>Ceredigion Youth Justice will target young people in the area who are at medium- or high-risk of being exploited by SOC-related individuals.</p><p>Leap Confronting Conflict will support young people identified as being at risk of involvement in serious and organised crime within the Borough of Southwark, specifically those at risk of grooming for involvement in running county lines.</p><p>Exeter Council for Voluntary Services, will proactively engage young people in the area who are at risk of exploitation or SOC offending.</p><p>Northumbria Police are working with individuals at risk of being drawn into SOC.</p><p>We are also investing in pilot local community coordinators, to build community resilience and deliver targeted interventions in five locations in the UK; Bradford, Brighton, Newport, Sedgemoor and Speke/Halton. These interventions are designed and delivered locally and several projects are in development.</p><p>In addition, existing programmes are also helping to deliver SOC Prevent interventions. This includes the Troubled Families Programme, the Trusted Relationships fund and the Early Intervention Youth Fund, which collectively reach thousands of young people in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 08/11/2018 16:14:19 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
