<p>The Home Secretary considers domestic burglary, alongside other neighbourhood crimes,
on a regular basis.</p><p>This Government recognises the devastating impact domestic
burglary has on communities. That is why we are recruiting 20,000 extra police officers
and why we established the Safer Streets Fund to prevent these crimes from happening
in the first place, supporting the deployment of solutions such as home security,
increased streetlighting and CCTV in high crime areas.</p><p>We are also taking a
range of measures to tackle reoffending, including the tagging scheme for neighbourhood
crime offenders released on licence, and work driven by the Residential Burglary Taskforce,
driving forward the sharing of best practice about police effective investigations.</p><p>The
importance of tackling neighbourhood crime was discussed at the most recent meeting
of the Home Secretary’s National Policing Board. This was attended by key senior police
leaders, representing all forces and Police and Crime Commissioners across England
and Wales.</p>
