VRUs bring together local partners to tackle the drivers of violence in their area. They have reached over 215,000 vulnerable people in their third year of funding alone.<\/p> Our £30m \u2018Grip\u2019 hotspot policing programme operates in the same 20 areas as VRUs and is helping to drive down serious violence by using data processes to identify the top serious violence hotspots \u2013 often to individual street level \u2013 and target operational activity in those areas.<\/p> The combination of these two programmes have prevented an estimated 136,000 violent offences in their first three years of operation. Relative to the amount of serious violence funding over the same period, this represents an estimated return of £4.10 in social benefit for every £1 invested in these programmes.<\/p> To understand how to better prevent violence, the Home Office has also invested £200m over ten years in the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF). This provides funding for over 230 organisations, which have reached over 117,000 young people since YEF was set up in 2019.<\/p> In addition, we are fully committed to providing police forces with all the resources they need to tackle serious violent crime. The Home Office has invested significantly in boosting police numbers through the Police Uplift Programme, aiming to recruit an additional 20,000 police officers by March 2023. As of 31 December 2022, 16,753 additional uplift officers have been recruited in England and Wales through the Police Uplift Programme. By the end of March 2023, we will have the highest number of police officers on record with over 148,000 officers in post, surpassing the previous peak of 146,030 officers in post in March 2010.<\/p> To help police forces tackle knife carrying, we have introduced Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs). SVROs will be piloted in four police force areas, including the West Midlands, and will allow the police to stop and search adults convicted of a knife or offensive weapon offence. The new orders will help deter continued carrying of weapons, protect offenders from being drawn into further exploitation, and send a clear signal that carrying knives is unacceptable.<\/p> Estimates from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) showed that violent incidents have fallen by 38% compared with the year ending March 2010.<\/p>"}
