Aims For Today • Who are we?• National / Regional / Local Strategies• Why Health? Is Violence a problem for
Health?• When, Where, Who, and Why?• Examples of where it works
Health
• World Health Organisation defines violence as:
“The intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation”
WHO (2002), “World Report on Violence and Health” World Health Organisation, Geneva.
Health Implications Using WHO Definition:
National Commitment
• The Government’s Coalition Agreement states: “We will make hospitals share non-confidential information with the police so they know where gun and knife crime is happening and can
target stop and search in gun and knife crime hotspots.”
HM Government (2010) “The Coalition: Our Programme for Government”
“I live in Fulham and Friday and Saturday night you are dodging drunks and piles of vomit and it isn’t nice. I’d like to see more police on the beat at those times, alongside people who can help those who have a real problem with alcohol” LDD Attendee, December 2009
“There’s a lot of violence on the streets now, with drunk people coming out of pubs and clubs looking for aggro”LDD Attendee, December 2009
“I’d like to see the police and local authorities working much more closely together on things like licensing, so we don’t get the situation where there are too many pubs and clubs clustered in one place.”LDD Attendee, December 2009
ED Data Sharing and beyond:
• Responding to London People;
• Acting on needs;
• Reviewing what works for different parts of London;
• Local strategies based on Local Problems;
• Pan-London Data Sharing
• Problem solving locally with regional implication;
• Creating a public health response to violence;
• Understanding that violence can be treated as a disease;
The London Experience Basis for the Model:
Started with the Cardiff Model, then…..
• RPHG-L lead data sharing development
• London Drink Debate
• Healthcare Led Models
• Policing Led Models
• CSP Led Models
• Joint working!
• Making it work for London, Working together for a safer London
Why Share Data from ED?
869 (62%) victims
327 (23%) victims
207 (15%) victims
HOSPITAL POLICE
1403 (100%) victims
Violence in Denmark (Faergemann 2006)
Hospital data can supplement police data.
For instance not all stabbing incidents are reported to the police
Hospital admissions for stab wounds compared with police recorded knife crime incidents
Together, hospital data and police data provide a more comprehensive picture of crime than could be obtained from either series alone

What data are we sharing?
What are we doing with the data?
• Targeted Policing• Licensing Guidance • Tackling under-age
sales• Tackling Knife sales • Identification of hot
spots • Working with the pubs,
clubs and fast food outlets
• Healthcare and licensing
• Violence prevention mechanisms (Home and Street Drinking)
• ASB control and prevention
• Major Events mapping • Anything else?
Plotting incidents onto a map gives a visual representation of the crimes taking place across an area
This can lead to the identification of hotspots
This intelligence can help focus resource targeting, such as places that would benefit from CCTV or a stationed police car or paramedic at specific times
How do we use the data?
