Tackling knife crime and violence is a top priority for the Government.<\/p>

The impact of Serious and Organised Crime (SOC) is felt on our streets and in our communities. The Home Office is committed to ensuring that the police have the capabilities they need to tackle this significant threat.<\/p>

Organised Crime Groups (OCGs) continue to diversify their tactics and activity, supported by a rise in the use of technology and online platforms. Home Office funding to the NCA has enabled capacity building to tackle the threat from SOC including the supply of illicit drugs. This includes the Merseyside Organised Crime Partnership - a joint NCA and policing unit to tackle the highest harm OCGs involved in drugs and firearms trafficking in the region.<\/p>

This collaboration has significantly impacted the threat in Merseyside with a notable reduction in firearms discharges, and community safety perceptions have significantly improved, particularly in wake of the tragic gang related murder of 9-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.<\/p>

Since 2022, Merseyside Police have also been delivering Clear, Hold, Build (CHB) a dedicated programme designed to tackle SOC treats and harms, which is now operating across three sites in the force area, receiving additional Home Office funding following the murder of Olivia and several other innocent members of the community by OCGs. CHB aims to reduce the SOC threat and crime levels in high-harm local areas and build sustained community resilience which prevents this harm returning.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1533", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Diana Johnson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dame Diana Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-10-30T17:05:51.32Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Merseyside Police: Organised Crime"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help support Merseyside Police to tackle organised crime gangs.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4828", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paula Barker"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool Wavertree"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paula Barker"} ], "uin" : "10791"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1736698", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1736698/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Tackling violence against women and girls is a top priority for this government and we will treat it as a national emergency. Our mission is to halve levels of these crimes within a decade, using every lever available to us. This means reforming the police response to these crimes, strengthening the criminal justice system, and empowering victims by providing access to specialist support when they need it. The Home Office is working closely with other departments and stakeholders in developing plans to deliver this ambition.<\/p>

In September, we unveiled a series of measures designed to strengthen the police response to domestic abuse, protect victims and hold perpetrators to account. From early 2025, under a new approach named \u2018Raneem\u2019s Law\u2019, domestic abuse specialists will be embedded in 999 control rooms to advise on risk assessments, work with officers on the ground and ensure that victims are referred to appropriate support services swiftly. We are also working with the police to develop a national framework utilising data-driven tools and algorithms to track and target high-harm offenders involved in domestic abuse, sexual assault, harassment, and stalking.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4370", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jess Phillips"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham Yardley"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jess Phillips"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-10-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-10-28T15:14:41.77Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Gender Based Violence: Stoke-on-Trent North"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to tackle violence against women and girls in (a) Stoke-on-Trent North constituency and (b) Kidsgrove.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/5151", "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stoke-on-Trent North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "David Williams"} ], "uin" : "10913"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&min-questionFirstAnswered.=2014-10-27T12%3A40%3A35.435951Z&min-ddpModified=2015-02-06T19%3A15%3A15.580Z&answeringDeptSortName=Home+Office", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 43135, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
