Strategic Assessment
The East Kent Strategic Assessment for November 2007 to March
2009 was delivered to partners in December 2007 and gave key
recommendations based on analysis of Kent Police and other key
data.
The strategic assessment replaces the previous crime audit
process and looks at statistical data in a more useful way,
highlighting trends and identifying not only what is happening but
also where, when and what is needed to tackle it as well as
emerging threats.
The document has been completed as per national intelligence
model guidelines and with the co-operation of key partner
personnel. The report used crime records, intelligence reports,
analytical products and information provided by partner
databases.
The report concludes that a range of ‘acquisitive crimes’ has
seen a steady decrease in the Thanet District such as burglary and
theft from a motor vehicle. There has been over recent years,
excellent work from Kent Police and partners in driving levels of
crime down.
There is however, a growing concern on the biggest areas of
volume crime in violence and criminal damage. These two categories
of crime make up 40% of overall crime which when coupled with
anti-social behaviour drugs provides a picture where the real
issues within the area lie.
The strategic assessment recommends from a sound analytical base
that the partnerships focus should be on Violence in the Night-Time
Economy, Domestic Abuse, Criminal Damage, Anti-Social Behaviour and
Substance Misuse.
The report is restricted as there is sensitive data contained
within it. Partners can request a copy of the assessment from the
Police East Kent Tasking and Co-ordination Group and each request
will be considered on its merit.
