answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office uses data on NHS hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object for under 25 year olds as our primary metric for levels of serious violence. In the West Midlands, hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object for under 25s have increased 13% from March 2020/21 to March 2021/22, although they remain 8% lower than in the year to March 2020.</p><p>Across England, hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object for under 25s have decreased 3% from March 2020/21 to March 2021/22, and remain 13% lower than the year ending March 2020. It is important to note that many crime types were suppressed during 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of public health restrictions. This makes meaningful year on year comparisons challenging.</p><p>The Government is determined to tackle the underlying causes of serious violence and are redoubling our efforts with a twin-track approach, combining tough enforcement with programmes that steer young people away from crime.</p><p>That is why we have made £130m available this financial year (22/23) to tackle serious violence, including murder and knife crime. This includes</p><p>£64m for our network of 20 Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) which bring together local partners to tackle the drivers of violence in their area, and £30m for our targeted police programme, Grip. Together, these programmes have prevented an estimated 49,000 violent offences in their first two years of activity.</p><p>To support the prevention of violence in the West Midlands, we have provided the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) c.£16 million since 2019, including a c.£5.9 million allocation for this financial year (2022/23).</p><p>In addition, we have provided West Midlands Police with c.£19 million of funding between 2019 – 2022 to support their operational response to tackling serious violence via the Grip ‘hot spot’ policing programme. This includes a c.£3m allocation this financial year (2022-23).</p><p>As at 30 June 2022, West Midlands Police have recruited 899 additional police officers as part of our commitment to recruit an additional 20,000 police officers across England and Wales by March 2023.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 08/09/2022 16:53:52 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
