1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The 2012-15 Strategic Assessment is a joint docu-ment between Community Safety Partners to deter-mine the crime and safety strategic priorities for the next three years. The assessment uses a range of data sources and methodologies to determine the strategic priorities in an evidence based approach. Sitting behind this document are a range of in-depth analytical profiles. Only the headline figures have been included in this Strategic Assessment, how-ever, the full profiles can be requested from either the P.I.T or B.I.U.

DATA MATRIX
Figure 1 is a diagram showing how the LBHF strate-gic priorities for 2012-15 have been selected. As mentioned before, the priorities have been se-lected by using an evidence based approach. This has included analysis of local and national issues, trends and performance, and public consultations. The crime types that are recommend as priorities for 2012-15 are Residential Burglary, Street Crime, Mo-tor Vehicle Crime (grouped as Serious Acquisitive Crime, Violence (including Domestic Violence), and Anti-Social Behaviour.
In addition to these crime types, there are a range of ‘themes’ that have a significant impact on the behav-iour of crime in the borough. Drugs & Alcohol, Town Centres, Youths, and Offender Management have been chosen. Dealing with these issues themes will have an impact on crime, both in the short term, but also for long sustainable reductions. Whilst crime is falling, and the borough is a safer place to live, this isn’t always reflected in the public’s perception. The inclusion of Public Reassurance is to ensure that the residents of the borough feel safer, which will increase the quality of life for those that work and live Hammersmith & Fulham.

4 Executive Summary
KEY FINDINGS
DEMOGRAPHICS
• There are a number of demographic factors that could possibly be linked to the crime behaviour in the bor-ough. Examples include a high index of multiple deprivation, high population density, high long term unem-ployment, and high geographical concentration of youths.
• Crime generators have the largest impact on the crime picture in LBHF in comparison to crime enablers, and crime attractors. Examples of crime generators in LBHF include the three town centres, a high business den-sity, three Premier League football clubs, and one of the largest shopping centres in Europe.
• Crime enablers include high level of pupils classed as persistent absentees, high level of single person house-holds, and low level of the population providing informal care.
• Crime attractors include void social housing, and unused / derelict land in the borough. Some licensed ven-ues with high crime rates can also be classified as a crime attractor.
PERFORMANCE
LONG TERM TRENDS
• The long term trend of Total Notifiable Offences (TNOs) between 2000-01 and 2011-12 continues to show a downward trend. There was however an increase in TNOs between 2009-10 to 2010-11, which was the first increase in 8 years.
• Serious Acquisitive Crime which had seen a general downward trend between 2002-03 to 2009-10, has seen increases over the last 2 years.
• Violence Against the Person saw a decrease of 11.3% when comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11. This fol-lowed a period of 6 years where the number of offences remained relatively constant.
• In 2008-09, Theft and Handling reported the first increase for the first time in 5 years due to the opening of the Westfield Shopping Centre. Since then, there has been year on year increases, however, the rate of increase in 2011-12 was the lowest in 4 years.
2011-12 PERFORMANCE AGAINST 2010-11 PERFORMANCE
• LBHF reported a decrease of 750 (-3.1%) in TNOs, equating to the 12th highest reduction in London.
• Excluding Murder, all forms of Violence Against the Person has seen significant decreases. The change of –11.3% is the 7th highest reduction when compared to the rest of London. This reduction has moved LBHF from having the 4th highest rates in 2010-11 to now the 5th highest rates per 100,000 population in London.
• Residential Burglary saw a reduction of 13%, equating to the 2nd highest reduction in London (behind Bex-ley). As a rate per 100,000 population, LBHF has the 8th highest rate in London. Although this is in the worst quartile, this is a significant improvement on the previous year where LBHF ranked as the 3rd highest. This positive picture should be communicated to residents as burglary ranks as the biggest concern when looking at different crime and ASB types taken from the Annual Residents Survey.
• Sexual Offences reported a 19% decrease compared to the previous year. With 203 reported offences in 2011-12, this was one of the lowest number of offences in the last 12 years.
• Theft and Handling experienced an increase of 5% in 2011-12, with Theft from MV, Theft Person, and Other Theft reporting large increases. Theft from MV in particular has high increases (5th) and high rates (1st) when compared to the rest of London.
CRIME PROPORTIONS
• At 14.7%, Other Theft accounted for the highest percentage of TNOs when looking at crime types by minor category. This rate of 14.7% is an increase on the 13.3% in 2010-11, and is now comparable to the rest of London.
• After experiencing a large increase on the previous year, Theft from MV accounted for 11.1% of TNOs in 2011-12 compared to 9.3% in 2010-11. In London, Theft from MV accounted for 9.0% of the TNOs.

5 Executive Summary
SANCTION DETECTIONS
• LBHF reported a sanction detection rate of 25% for all crimes in 2011-12. This rate is slightly higher than the 22% for London.
• The rate for Victim Based crimes for LBHF was 15%. This is comparable to London.
• Victim Based crimes where LBFH performs better than London include Rape, Acquisitive Crime, Business Robbery, Vehicle Crime, and Theft of a Cycle.
• Crime types that LBHF report lower rates than London include Other Sexual Offences, Domestic Burglary, and Personal Robbery.
WESTFIELD SHOPPING CENTRE
• In 2011-12, there were 1406 reported crimes within the Westfield Shopping Centre boundary, equating to 6% of the TNOs in LBHF.
• Crime types where Westfield accounted for approximately 10% or more of the LBHF total include Theft from Shops (28%), Other Fraud & Forgery (17%), Other Theft (13%), and Theft Person (9%).
• The impact on crime rates per 100,000 population by excluding the Westfield offences varies by crime type.
• By excluding Westfield, LBHF moves from having the 4th highest rate to the 6th highest rate.
• Crime types that change ranking by more than 2 places when excluding Westfield offences include Common Assault, Theft Person, Other Theft, Other Fraud or Forgery, and Criminal Damage.
• Removing Theft from Shop offences that occurred in Westfield does not have an impact on the ranking of LBHF. This is due to the high number of offences occurring outside of Westfield, as there are a high number of shops and businesses in the borough.
DETERMINING THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
PESTELO ANALYSIS / HORIZON SCANNING
• Current and emerging issues, risks, threats, and change include Financial Settlements from Central Govern-ment, Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, Troubled Families, Integrated Offender Management, Commu-nity Budgets, Integrated Offender Management, Olympics, and Major Regeneration in LBHF.
• A full list can be found on page 19, with an expansion on selected topics.
PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS
• A range of sources were used, including the Annual Residents Survey (ARS), an online consultation launched specifically for this Strategic Assessment, Police Public Attitude Survey (PAS), and the Community Relations Group (CRG).
• From the ARS, satisfaction with the Police has increased, feeling of safety during the day has increased slightly, and residents agreeing that the Police and Local Public Services seek people’s views has increased.
• Feeling of safety after dark has decreased, so has the percentage of residents agreeing that the Police and Local Public Services are successfully dealing with crime issues.
• Analysis of actual crime rates against residents’ perception of crime has raised some initial findings as to which wards have the largest reassurance gaps. The wards with the largest reassurance gaps differ from crime type to crime type.
• Using statistical tools, correlations between feelings of safety and crime types can be determined. The analy-sis show that Violence / Assault, and Robbery both have substantial to very strong link with feelings of safety at night. Crime and ASB types that have a moderate to substantial link include Drugs, and Teenagers.
• Unique to the online consultation is a question asking what would make residents feel safer. Of the 219 re-spondents that live in the borough, 63% felt that more police patrols on foot would make the area safer. 37% felt that more activities for young people, and 32% felt that more CCTV would make the area safer.
ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
• For each of the strategic priorities, there is a 2-4 page summary of the key findings, recommendations, intelli-gence gaps, and strategic information which can be found in section 5.

The diagram below is an illustration of how the de-mography, enablers, attractors and generators of crime and disorder might be working in the borough. Comparatively speaking there are few known attrac-tors with the exception of a high prevalence of li-censed premises and a relatively high void rate in social housing stock. However, residents’ perception of issues such as litter, noise nuisance and drug dealing do suggest that unless these issues are carefully managed then the borough could attract more crime.
The possible enablers in the borough include a high absence rate from schools, high levels of people liv-ing alone, high rates of family disruption and rela-tively poor perception of “people treating each other with respect”. However, it is suggested that it is the generators of crime that have the greatest weight in terms of contributing to crime and disorder in the bor-ough – with a significantly higher workplace popula-tion than resident population, and high visitor num-bers. It is recommended that further work is carried out to better understand what underpins the crime level in the borough in terms of attractors, generators, and enablers.

7 Borough Demographics
There are a number of demographic, social, eco-nomic and geographical factors that are often cited in research and criminology literature as helping ex-plain why an area might have a high crime rate. These demographic characteristics, with “crime at-tractors”, “crime generators” and “crime enablers”, comprise the main factors which are used to explain why an area might or might not have a high crime rate.
The Jill Dando Institute have used a number of demographic variables to identify neighbourhoods that might be vulnerable to crime. Pratt and Cullen’s article (“Assessing macro-level predictors and theo-ries”) identified further demographic and social fac-tors which indicate that an area might have a high crime rate. These factors are highlighted below :
• The borough has a relatively young population compared to London and England as a whole, and very high localised, concentrations of children and youths in specific areas of the borough. 53% of the general popula-tion is aged under 35 compared to 50% for London as a whole and 44% for England.
• According to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2010, Hammersmith & Fulham is within the top 50 most deprived in England (ranked 31st from 326 local authorities and 13th out of the 33 London boroughs in terms of the average rank).
• Highly polarised borough in terms of income, with some of the wealthiest areas of the country next to some of the most deprived areas. 27.6% of households in the borough are in the least financially vulnerable groups but the borough also has 31.6% in the three most vulnerable groups. Nearly a third of all children live in poverty, compared to 28% for London and 21% for England.
• One of the highest population densities in the country – significant as crime often occurs in close proximity to the offenders home address. Hammersmith & Fulham is the country’s eighth most densely populated area, with density of 10,348 people per square kilometre. It is more than twice densely populated as both West Lon-don and London. In general, the boroughs’ central and south sub areas are more densely populated than the north sub area.
• The borough has an ethnically diverse population, but has a lower percentage of its population from BME groups than London as a whole. The ethnic minority population is lower than West London (38%) or Greater London (30%). 24% of Borough residents are from non-white groups and the main ethnic minorities identified are Black Caribbean (4.5%), Indian (4.1%), Black African (3.7%), and Mixed ethnic group (3.7%).
• Has one of the highest residential mobility rates in the country, with high levels of short term migration and new National Insurance registrations. The Census shows that in year 2001, one in five residents in the Bor-ough moved address. The ONS report on short-term migration from 2009 shows that H&F has the 7th largest estimates of short-term migration as a proportion of its population (some 15,200 in total or 9% of population).
• The borough has a highly skewed employment base – with high percentages of residents who are senior managers and professionals and very few residents who work in elementary occupations. At the same time, the borough has a comparatively low overall employment rate.
• The borough has a comparatively high Job Seekers Allowance claimant rate (at 4.3% of the working age population). This ranks the borough 15th compared to all London boroughs, and 96th out of all local authori-ties in England.
• The residents of the borough are particularly prone to long term unemployment once they begin to claim Job Seekers Allowance. The borough has a high proportion of claimants that have been claiming for 6 months or more (47%) and a high proportion of claimants claiming for 12 months or more (28%).
• Educational attainment is often cited as an indicator of crime. Attainment from school is very good in the bor-ough. 91.5% of pupils in H&F achieved GCSE 5+ A*-C (71.3% achieved GCSE 5+ A*-C including English and Maths). Strong performance can be seen in Palace Riverside, Fulham Reach, Ravenscourt Park and Avon-more & Brook Green wards which rank in the top quartile. Four wards, College Park & Old Oak, Munster, Town and North End fall in the bottom quartile of performance.
• 66% of working age population in H&F have NVQ3+ qualification compared to 56% in London as a whole; the borough rate is the 6th highest in London.

8 Borough Demographics
The Centre for Problem Orientated Policing states crime enablers “...occur when there is little regulation of behaviour at places: rules of conduct are absent or are not enforced. The removal of a parking lot at-tendant, for example, allows people to loiter in the parking area. This results in an increase in thefts from vehicles. This is an example of an abrupt change in place management. Sometimes place management erodes slowly over time, leading to problem growth.
Crime enablers also occur with the erosion of guardi-anship and handling. For example, if parents attend a play area with their children they simultaneously protect the children (guardianship) and keep their children from misbehaving (handling). If parenting styles slowly change so that the children are increas-ingly left to themselves, their risk of victimization and of becoming offenders can increase.”
From the Annual Residents Survey (2011) : • There has been an increase in the proportion of respondents who stated that they either “Tend to disagree” or
“Definitely disagree” with the statement that parents take enough responsibility for the behaviour of their chil-dren (from 38% in the 2010 ARS to 41% in the 2011 Survey).
• At the same time the Survey showed that there has been an increase in the proportion of respondents who believe that there is a problem with people not treating each other with respect and consideration from 32% in 2010 to 36% in 2011.
• There continues to be an upward trend in the percentage of people who believe people from different back-grounds get on well together.
Other possible enablers in the borough : • The latest comparative pupil absence figures from the Department of Education (covering Autumn term 2010
and Spring 2011) shows the borough to have the second highest percentage of pupils in state funded primary schools that are classed as persistent absentees. In these terms, 6.6% of pupils in the state run primary schools were classed as persistent absentees compared to 5.3% for London as a whole and 5.2% for England as a whole.
• For state run secondary schools in the borough, 8.4% of pupils were persistent absentees, which compares well to the London average of 8.2% and national average of 9.5%.
• Of all households in the borough with dependent children, 44.4% of households consist of a married couple with dependent children. This is the 12th lowest percentage across all English local authorities at the time of the 2001 Census.
• At the same time though, the borough has one of the highest proportions of all households that consist of one person (at just over 40%), and one of the lowest percentages of the population that provide any level of infor-mal care suggesting that some of the informal support mechanisms that exist elsewhere in the country are not present in the borough.
The Centre for Problem Orientated Policing defines Crime Attractors as “...places affording many criminal opportunities that are well known to offenders. Peo-ple with criminal motivation are drawn to such lo-cales. In the short run, offenders may come from out-side the area, but over longer time periods, and un-der some circumstances, offenders may relocate to these areas. Prostitution and drug areas are exam-ples. Some entertainment spots are also well known for allowing deviant activity. Such places might start off being known only to locals, but as their reputation spreads increasing numbers of offenders are drawn in, thus increasing the number of crime and disorder events.”
Figure x shows the responses to a number of differ-ent possible attractors in terms of how big a problem they are viewed. All but two areas have seen an in-crease between 2010 and 2011, with abandoned / burnt out cars viewed as a problem by only 3% of respondents and vandalism / graffiti and deliberate damage falling from 34% to 29% in 2011. Whilst there is very little unused, derelict land in the borough, the current void rate in social housing is increasing and the highest it has been for some time. Whilst not necessarily directly linked to crime and ASB, this void rate should be carefully monitored to ensure vacant properties are not misused.

The Centre for Problem Orientated Policing defines Crime Generators as “... places to which large num-bers of people are attracted for reasons unrelated to criminal motivation. Providing large numbers of op-portunities for offenders and targets to come to-gether in time and place produces crime or disorder. Examples of generators include shopping areas, transportation hubs, festivals, and sporting events. The large number of crime or disorder events is due principally to the large number of place users and targets.” The borough is an easily accessible, cosmopolitan area which attracts large numbers of visitors for study, entertainment, retail, cultural and sporting op-portunities. Some of the major attractions in the bor-ough should be considered as potential generators of crime and disorder. The borough has three town centres : Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush, Fulham and one of the largest shipping centres in Europe (Westfield). Westfield in the north of the borough opened in October 2008 and represents a significant attractor as potential offenders and victims congregate in the same area at the same time.
The borough has a high business density compared to most other local authorities. This is the number of businesses (registered for VAT / PAYE) per thou-sand population. As at March 2011, the borough had almost 57 businesses for every thousand population, compared to 43 for London as a whole and just 34 for England. This represents a significant number of opportunities to bring offender and victim into contact with each other across the existing business areas in the borough, most notably the town centres. The borough is also unique in the sense that it has three Premier League football clubs within the boundaries (Chelsea, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers) with average attendances of 41,435 for Chelsea, and 24,953 for Fulham. Queens Park Rangers were promoted to the Premier League in 2011/12 and no data is available as yet. This repre-sents significant opportunities for crime and disorder as large numbers of people enter the borough on a regular basis for football matches. Policing around football matches remains a significant draw on exist-ing resources.

Offences Poly. (Offences)
The long term trend of total notifiable offences (TNOs) between 2000-1 and 2011-12 continues to show a downward trend. There was an increase in crime between 2009-10 and 2010-11 with 2010-11 being the first increase in 8 years.
With the opening of the Westfield Shopping Centre in October 2008, this has had a significant impact on TNOs (see page 13 for further Westfield analysis). Despite this, the number of crimes in 2011-12 is still comparable to those in 2007-08.

By setting 2000-01 as a base, and calculating the percentage change of the subsequent years, figure 5 shows the long term trends of different crime types. Drug offences report the highest long term increases at 123% more offences in 2011-12
compared to 2000-01. However, this offence is gen-erated from Police activity, so an increase would in-dicate more arrests. Theft and Handling has seen year on year increases since 2007-08, due to the opening of the Westfield Shopping Centre.

2011-12 PERFORMANCE AGAINST 2010-11 PERFORMACE
Figure 6 shows LBHF performance in 2011-12 com-pared to performance in 2010-11 in terms of actual change, and percentage change. In addition, the last two columns on the right compares performance and rates against the rest of London when catego-rised by quartiles. LBHF reported a decrease of 750 (-3.1%), which is the 12th highest reduction in London. Despite this reduction, LBHF reported high rates of TNOs when compared to the rest of London. Excluding Murder, all forms of Violence Against the Person has seen large decreases, and ranks LBHF in the best improvement quartile. In addition, Gun Crime, and Knife Crime also reported high reduc-tions.
Residential Burglary reported a reduction of 13%, which is the second highest reduction behind Bexley. As a rate per 100,000 population, LBHF reports the eighth highest in London. Although this is still in the worst quartile, this is a significant improvement on the previous year where LBHF ranked as the third highest. Sexual Offences reported a 19% decrease on the previous year. With 203 reported offences in 2011-12, this was one of the lowest numbers in the last 12 years. Theft and Handling saw an increase of 5% in 2011-12, with Theft from M/V, Theft Person, and Other Theft reporting large increases. Theft from M/V in particular, had high increases (5th) and high rates (1st) when compared to the rest of London.

CRIME PROPORTIONS AND COSTS
Other theft accounted for the highest percentage of any of the crime types in 2011-12, at 14.7%. This is up from 13.3% in 2010-11. Theft from M/V after experiencing a 15.9% increase in offences, now accounts for 11.1% of the total crime in 2011-12. Figure 8 is an illustration of how different crime types accounts for different economical and social costs1. Violence Against the Person cost approximately £45m in 2011-12. Sexual offences, with only a quar-ter of the number of offences compared to robbery, has an estimated economic and social cost that is 11% higher than the total for robbery. With Payments by Results being introduced to strands of work such as Integrated Offender Man-agement (IOM), it is important to assess the financial implications of any actions implemented to tackle crime and disorder and determine how possible out-come payment mechanisms might work.

SANCTION DETECTIONS • Data was taken from the iQuanta Policing
and Community Safety Data Analysis por-tal.
• A sanction detection is ‘one in which a person was charged, reported for sum-mons, cautioned or issued with a fixed penalty notice, or the offence was taken into consideration by a court. Formal street warnings for cannabis possession are also counted as sanction detections’.
• It is not possible to link individual detec-tions to individual crimes, therefore the sanction detection rate is the number of sanctions divided by the number of crimes.

Length of bar illustrates difference in performance
LBHF has a sanction detection rate of 25% for all crimes in 2011-12, which is slightly higher than the 22% for London. When looking specifically at victim based crimes, the rate drops to 15% which is comparable to London. Victim based crimes which LBHF performs better than London include rape, acquisitive crime, busi-ness robbery, vehicle crime, and theft of a cycle. Crime types which LBHF report lower rates than London include other sexual offences, domestic bur-glary, and personal robbery. For non victim based crimes, LBHF report higher rates than London across all the different crime types. Although current performance in relation to sanction detections is mixed and dependent on crime type, it is a powerful data set and one that could be used effectively in communication strategies to address the reassurance gap.
Figure 9 aims to show two things: 1 - How the LBHF sanction detection rates for each crime type compares to one another. 2 - How the sanction detection rates for each crime in LBHF compares to that of London.

15 Performance Summary
WESTFIELD SHOPPING CENTRE
In 2011-12, there were 1406 reported crimes that were within the Westfield Shopping Centre bound-ary. This accounted for 6% of the 23426 total crimes in LBHF. The table on the right shows the crimes where West-field accounts for approximately 10% or more of the total crime in LBHF (see performance profile for full table). As the crimes are specific to those within the West-field boundary, a high number of crimes are related to Theft, and to Fraud or Forgery. The actual number of crimes generated by Westfield could possibly be higher, however, it is not possible to estimate the actual numbers. For example, only 13 Theft from M/V crimes were attributable to West-field. This doesn’t take into account shoppers that park outside of the shopping centre boundary but walk to Westfield who have something stolen from their M/V.

LBHF LBHF Excluding Westfield
Below illustrates how Westfield impacts upon crime rates in LBHF when compared to other London bor-oughs. For example, LBHF has the 4th highest rates per 100,000 population when compared against the rest of London. By removing the crimes directly at-tributable to Westfield, LBHF moves two places to the 6th highest rate. Crime types that change ranking by more than 2 places include Common Assault, Theft Person, Other Theft, Other Fraud or Forgery, and Criminal Damage.
Figure 11: LBHF including Westfield, and LVHF excluding Westfield ranked

The number of primary and secondary fires have both seen year on year decreases since 2009-10. The number of deliberate fires has seen annual in-creases of 5%. A high proportion of deliberate fires occur in Wormwood Scrubs Prison.
REDUCING FIRES IN DWELLINGS AND INJURIES The 2007/08 CDRP Strategic Assessment highlighted the priorities to reduce fires in dwellings and injuries resulting from such fires. The original analysis of fires in the borough showed a high percentage of people injured in fires were known to adult social care, or dwellings with fires contained vulnerable people. An in-formation sharing agreement was implemented between the department and the London Fire Brigade which sees vulnerable people referred for Home Fire Safety Visits. Social Work staff now routinely identify hoarding in their assessments as potential fire risks and refer to LFB as appropriate. Over the last three years the numbers of people injured in fires has fallen by almost 60% and this work should be seen as an excellent example of what can be achieved through information sharing and joint work.

19 Determining the Strategic Priorities
The 2010 spending review set out how the deficit reduction announced in the June 2010 budget would be implemented. In short it describes the cut in budg-ets that Government departments have to make in order that the underlying budget deficit is “in bal-ance” by 2015/16, and that public sector net borrow-ing will fall from 149bn in 2010/11 to 20bn in 2015/16. All areas of Government were affected, with welfare, local councils and police all needing to make sav-ings. The effects of these cuts are starting to emerge, such as a fall in police numbers (a 4.2% decrease in officers nationally between September 2011 and September 2010), and a £4.7bn fall in councils combined income in 2011/12.
Financial Settlements from Central Government
This Strategic Assessment is being produced in a time of change for policing nationally. The Police Re-form and Social Responsibility Act (2011) has brought about reforms to the accountability of Police Services. In London this has meant that the Metro-politan Police Authority has been replaced with the Mayors Office for Policing and Crime (established in law on the 16th January 2012). The Mayor now has direct responsibility for setting the Metropolitan Police’s strategic direction and ac-counting of its resources and is also directly account-able for police performance. Current Mayoral Crime priorities include: serious youth violence including knife crime; targeting robbery, burglary and drug dealing in every borough; getting tough on gangs and tackling reoffending rates; and ensuring London has enough frontline police officers on the streets.
Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime
with disorder being mainly confined to Fulham Broadway. In total the borough reported less then 20 crimes, while 13 other London Boroughs recorded more than 100 crimes. In the wake of the riots the Government has looked at a number of strategies. As well as punitive meas-ures such as considering changes to the imposition and enforcement of curfews, and changes to eviction laws, the Government also set about trying to ad-dress the social and economic problems that they saw as underpinning the unrest. In the weeks follow-ing the riots the Government announced its commit-ment to turning round the fortunes of the estimated 120,000 troubled families in Britain, through the Troubled Families Unit.
‘TROUBLED FAMILIES’ IN H&F • The Louise Casey Unit have estimated
that the borough should have 540 Trou-bled Families. This compares to 400 in RBKC, 790 in Westminster, 810 in Brent and 585 in Hounslow.
• All local authorities have now been asked to identify these families based on three key criteria – unemployment and work-lessness, offending and ASB and persis-tent school absences and exclusions. This will lead to the development of a pay-ments by results mechanism to ensure service effectiveness in delivering the ma-jor outcomes for these families and re-duce the amount spent on them by statu-tory services.

Police forces in England and Wales reported nearly 4,700 thousand arrests (as of 29th September, 2011) due to disorder related events between the 6th - 10th August 2011. The Metropolitan Police Area was one of the 10 principally affected areas seeing nearly 3,500 reported crimes. As a London borough, Ham-mersmith and Fulham was one of the least affected,
Disorder Events in August 2011 (‘Riots’)
In this area as with the Troubled Families Unit, the Government are hoping that the introductions of the Payments by Results model will encourage the pri-vate and voluntary sector to create innovative solu-tions to difficult problems. In the ‘Breaking the Cycle’ Green Paper the Govern-ment introduced plans for at least six new Payment by Results pilots: two projects for offenders released from prison; two pilot projects covering offenders managed on community sentences; and two projects testing a local approach to payment by results based on justice reinvestment principles. These are in addition to the Social Impact Bond pilot already running at HMP Peterborough. This scheme works exclusively with adult male offenders sen-tenced to less than 12 months in custody. All imple-mentation and operating costs for the pilot will be met through social investment raised by Social Fi-nance.
Prison, Probation, and Re-Offending

20 Determining the Strategic Priorities
FOOTBALL CRIME IN H&F During the 2010-11 season: • There were 112 arrests and 68 Football
Banning Orders between the three clubs. • A review will be published at the end of
the football season.
Integrated Offender Management is an overarching framework that allows local and partner agencies to come together to ensure that the offenders, whose crimes cause most damage and harm locally, are managed in a coordinated way. Local integrated offender management approaches differ from area to area, reflecting local priorities, but there are common key principles. These include: all partners tackling offenders together; delivering a lo-cal response to local problems; offenders facing their responsibility or facing the consequences; making better use of existing programmes and governance; and all offenders at high risk of causing serious harm and/or re-offending being ‘in scope’.
Olympics
The Olympics and the Paralympics taking place in the Summer of 2012 will be the Metropolitan polices largest ever peacetime policing operation. It will run for 64 days, and cover over 1,000 venues including those hosting Olympic and Paralympic sports, cul-tural events and 2012 themed celebrations taking place across the Capital. On the busiest days up to 9,000 police officers will be used for Games related operations.
Football Related Crime
During 2010-11 season, the total number of people arrested in connection with all international and do-mestic football (“regulated”) matches involving teams from, or representing, England and Wales was 3,089. This represents a decrease of 9%, or 302 arrests, on 2009-10 figures. This includes football specific offences (e.g. throwing missiles in a stadium, pitch encroachment) and a wide range of generic criminal offences committed in connection with a football match. This covers such arrests at any place within a period of 24 hours either side of a match.
OLYMPIC EVENTS IN H&F H&F will be hosting several events at the Olym-pics: • The men and women’s cycling road race
will be passing through the borough along Fulham Road, which will result in the clo-sure of a key east-west route through the borough.
• Earl’s Court will play host to the volleyball which will be on every day for almost the entire games period. There are three sessions a day with over 40,000 specta-tors needing to get to and from the venue.
In light of the budget cuts mentioned above, the po-lice are trying to get clubs to pay more towards the cost of policing football matches. The issue, which has been subject to parliamentary debate is of rele-vance in Hammersmith and Fulham who have three Premiership Teams (at time of writing).
There are a number of significant physical regenera-tion initiatives in the borough which need to be con-sidered. Whilst these will create job and business opportunities, the increase in population – both resi-dent and workplace – will increase the opportunities for crime (see section x on generators of crime). These projects include the expansion of Westfield in the north of the borough, and the redevelopment of Earls Court and West Kensington area. At the same time, these regeneration plans present an opportu-nity to regenerate some of the most deprived areas of the borough and gives the opportunity to design out crime at several locations in the borough.
Major Regeneration in the Borough
The economic outlook of the country and the global economy remains uncertain, with low or no growth expected over the coming year. The recession in Europe will have significant impacts on the national economy, which in turn will have impacts on the local economy. The UK was officially in recession between December 2009 and December 2010, and entered another recession in April 2012. Locally, there have significant impacts with a reduc-tion in the number of businesses that are active in the borough, increases in the numbers of people that are claiming Job Seekers Allowance (current at 4.3% of the working age population), increases in the num-bers of long term claimants (over 200% between De-cember 2009 and March 2012 for claimants over 12 months) and large increases in the numbers of young people claiming JSA. Locally there are large varia-tions, with some of the most deprived areas having a JSA claimant rate almost three times higher than the borough average.

Alongside crime data, it is important to take into ac-count residents’ views. An in depth understanding of resident’s opinions on crime and anti social behav-iour can be used, alongside the actual crime figures, to guide local and borough priorities. This is an area which will be developed further in the year, and fea-ture heavily in the next assessment.

INTRODUCTION
• Based on respondents answers the wards with the biggest reassurance gap for: • Violent Crimes are: Parsons Green and Walham, Askew, Avonmore and Brook Green, and Munster. • Robbery: are Askew, Munster, Town, and North End. • Motor Vehicle Crime are: Askew, Shepherds Bush Green, and Addison. • Burglary are: Hammersmith Broadway, Askew, College Park and Old Oak, and Avonmore and Brook Green. • Vandalism are: Addison, and Avonmore & Brook Green.
• 57% of all respondents feel either very or fairly safe when outside at night. • Males feel safer at night than females. Generally speaking the older the respondent the safer they felt after
dark. 18-24 year olds had the lowest feelings of safety after dark at 48%, 55-64 year olds had the highest feelings of safety after dark at 64%.
• Health, disability and employment has little or no relationship with feelings of safety. • Parsons Green and Walham, Palace Riverside and Town wards have the highest feelings of safety at night
(74%,73% and 67% respectively). • College Park and Old Oak, Wormholt and White City and Shepherd’s Bush Green have the lowest feelings
of safety at night (36%, 42% and 42% respectively). • Fears of Violence / Assault, and Robbery tend to correlate strongly with feelings of safety after dark • The only variables that have a significant effect on feelings of safety during the day are the ward the respon-
dent is from and the Mosaic group their address links them to. • Violence/ Assault has a substantial to very strong link with feelings of safety during the day. • 63% of respondents (n=219) felt that more police patrols on foot would make the area safer. 37% felt that
more activities for young people would make the area safer. • Burglary, robbery and vehicle crime are the crime types that more respondents felt were a problem. • Findings from the Quarter 3 2011/12 Metropolitan Police Public Attitude Survey:
• 80% of respondents gave a positive response to the question ‘How good a job do you think the police are doing in H&F?’. This is an increase of 21% from the same quarter last year.
• 71% of people believed that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in H&F’. A 7% increase on the same quarter last year.
• 50% of respondents feel informed about what the police have been doing in H&F over the past 12 months. An decrease of 9% on last year.
• 36% of respondents are worried about crime in H&F. A decrease of 10% on the same quarter last year. • 28% of respondents said they were worried about ASB in H&F. A 7% decrease on the same quarter last
year.
KEY FINDINGS
In a similar vein to the Troubled Families work the borough, along with RBKC and Westminster, is part of a "One Place" Area budget programme. The pro-gramme includes five strands of work, one of which is based on criminal justice and reducing reoffending across the three boroughs. Like the Troubled Fami-lies work, this is focused on the delivery of major out-comes for the community, with a payments by results
mechanism included. Hammersmith and Fulham also has a specific neighbourhood budget based on the White City Opportunity Area which will see similar work and mechanisms in place. The bor-ough is still exploring the possibility of a Social Impact Bond (SIB) to lever in social investment to achieve key outcomes around employment, re-ducing offending and staying in education.

REASSURANCE GAP
By comparing the actual crime figures with respon-dent’s perceptions of crime the reassurance gap can be plotted. The crime types of: violent crimes; drugs crimes; mo-tor vehicle crimes; burglary; and vandalism were all plotted against how much of a problem residents felt them to be. The findings of this analysis should be taken into ac-count when setting local priorities. They should also be used when writing any communication and en-gagement strategy. The table on the right shows the wards with the larg-est reassurance gaps by crime type. For full analy-sis please refer to the Consultation profile.

Burglary Reassurance Gap—the graph on the left plots respon-dent’s feelings on how much of a problem burglary is in their local area against actual burglaries per 1,000 of the population. The data is broken down by ward. The graph breaks the wards up into 4 groups: ‘more of a problem/ less crime’ (those with the biggest reassurance gap); ‘more of a prob-lem/ more crime’; ‘less of a prob-lem/ less crime’; ‘less of a prob-lem/ more crime’. This information should be taken into account when setting local priorities as different wards may require different approaches and interventions depending on their position on the graph.

FEELINGS OF SAFETY
When Outside in your Local Area at Night
As part of the consultation/ survey resident’s were asked ‘how safe they felt when outside in their local area at night?’ Breaking down the answers to this question demog-raphically shows that some groups feel safer than others. Overall 57% of respondents feel either very or fairly safe when outside at night. However males feel safer at night than females. (63% of males feel safe after dark, compared to 52% of females).
A number of crime types have a strong relationship with peoples feelings of safety, (see profile for a full explanation). The assumption being that if people’s perception of crimes improve then their feelings of safety will increase.
In terms of age, the older the respondent the safer they felt after dark. Health, disability and employment has little or no relationship with feelings of safety. Generally the longer someone has lived in the bor-ough the less safe they feel after dark. Those who rent their property from a landlord have higher feel-ings of safety than owner occupiers and Council/RSL tenants. Figure 18 plots how safe respondent’s feel outside in their local area at night against actual crimes with a victim per 1,000 of the population broken down by ward.
The graph breaks the wards into 4 groups: ‘feeling safer/ less crime’; ‘feeling safer/ more crime’; ‘feeling less safe/ less crime’; ‘feeling less safe/ more crime’. Parsons Green and Walham, Pal-ace Riverside and Town wards have the highest feelings of safety at night (74%,73% and 67% re-spectively). College Park and Old Oak, Wormholt and White City and Shepherd’s Bush Green have the lowest feelings of safety at night (36%, 42% and 42% respectively).

When Outside in your Local Area during the Day
The only variables that have a significant effect on feelings of safety during the day are the ward the respondent is from and the Mosaic group their ad-dress links them to. Feelings of safety during the day are highest in Munster, Parsons Green and Wal-ham, and Town (98%, 95% and 93% respectively). Feelings of safety during the day are lowest in Col-lege Park and Old Oak, Shepherds Bush Green and North End (72%, 80% and 81% respectively). As with safety at night , a number of crime types have a strong relationship with peoples feelings of safety, (see full document for a full explanation).
Violence/ Assault has a substantial to very strong link with feelings of safety during the day. The next highest crimes/ ASB types, in order of rank, that have a link to safety during the day are Robbery, people using or dealing drugs, teenagers hanging around the streets, and people being drunk/ rowdy in public places. Rubbish/ litter lying around and van-dalism also have moderate to substantial links. Peoples perceptions on how well the police/ Local Authority are dealing with these issues has a moder-ate to substantial association with feelings of safety during the day. ’Motor vehicle crime’, ’burglary’, ‘noisy neighbours’, and ‘abandoned cars’ do not have a strong relation-ship with feelings of safety during the day.

Metropolitan Police Public Attitude Survey for Hammersmith and Fulham: Quarter 3 2011/12 - Summary
80% of respondents gave a positive response to the question ‘How good a job do you think the police are doing in H&F?’. This is an increase of 21% from the same quarter last year. 68% of people believed that the police and local council ‘seek people’s views about the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in H&F’. A 20% increase from the same quarter last year. 71% of people believed that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in H&F’. A 7% increase on the same quarter last year.
In the effectiveness in dealing with crime questions all crime types had seen a reduction in feelings of effectiveness apart from ‘prevents terrorism’ and ‘responds to emergencies promptly’. 78% of respondents believed that the police in H&F would treat everyone fairly, regardless of who they are. An 11% increase on the same quarter last year. 50% of respondents feel informed about what the police have been doing in H&F over the past 12 months. An decrease of 9% on last year. 36% of respondents are worried about crime in H&F. A decrease of 10% on the same quarter last year.
SA ONLINE CONSULTATION To get a fuller understanding of crime in LBHF an online Crime Consultation was held specifi-cally for the Strategic Assessment. Local peo-ple were asked for their thoughts on their ex-periences of crime, feelings of safety, and ap-proaches that would make them feel safer. We received over 250 responses and these, along with the 1100 responses on from the Annual Residents Survey have been fed into this years Strategic Assessment. In addition, specific work was also done with harder to reach groups, namely young people and community groups.

4.3- STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT PRIORITISATION MATRIX
The aim of the Prioritisation Matrix is to provide a methodical framework to scan and assess the crime and disorder types in LBHF against a set range of criteria. For each one of the set criteria, a score out of 4 is given. The scores are then added together, and sorted in descending order to produce a ranked list of crime and disorder types that should be consid-ered as a priority for H&F. The matrix is a mixture of quantitative analysis of trends and activities, as well as more subjective views on seriousness and public concern. In future, the matrix approach could be applied to more partnership activity and build in additional ele-ments such as cost and or ability to make a signifi-cant impact. Alternatively, we might consider using the matrix to assess enablers, attractors, and generators, and their ‘weighting’ and ultimately prioritise other areas in other disciplines.

DESCRIPTION
Short term basis requiring a policing response via the TTCG and PTG and can be connected to Category B problems.
If the problems continues over 12 weeks, then it becomes a cate-
gory B problem.
Long term problems and are people, places, or events that con-sistently make up the crime and disorder in H&F.
Drivers behind the category B problems.
At the end of FY11/12 Hammersmith and Fulham Police changed intelligence to work to a Territorial Policing (TP) wide intelligence model. A key part of that new model is the Borough Crime Picture (BCP). The BCP is series of issues that can be described as the boroughs long term crime and disorder problems as well as the causal themes behind them. These are problems that have consistently made up parts of the boroughs crime and disorder, either daily, weekly or seasonally. The long term problems are collec-tively known as category B problems.
The intelligence unit also continues to identify the short term changes in crime and disorder which re-quire a policing response via the DMM or TTCG process. These problems are known as category C problems. They can be connected to existing cate-gory B problems and if they continue to be a problem after 12 weeks then they become a category B prob-lem.
Above the category B problems sits a small number of category A themes. When analysis of these long term category B problems is complete, the drivers behind them should be identified and the most com-mon drivers and causes become known as category A themes. By making these category A themes a priority for partnerships as part of the strategic proc-ess and by working to address these causal themes then successful partnership working should see posi-tive impacts on all of the long term problems that are driven by them so crime and disorder driven by these themes should reduce.
A borough crime picture for Hammersmith & Fulham has been drafted and this year will see the BCP be-ing developed and analysed. This long term strategic analysis will then be recorded on the intelligence and tasking system and be updated regularly. This will allow the problems to be allocated to plan owners who will be responsible for the problems and co-ordinating and recording the activity carried out to

RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• There has been a 13% reduction when
comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11.
• Burglary accounts for 7% of the total
crime in H&F for 2011-12.
• There were on average 4.4 burglaries a
day in 2011-12.
• Artifice and aggravated type burglaries
are rare on the borough, with 97% of the offences being a standard breaking and entering. Attempted burglaries ac-counted for 22% of the standard of-
fences.
• Peak geographical areas in 2011-12
were similar to the boroughs long term burglary areas.
• West Kensington, Addison, Sands End,
and across the Fulham area accounted for roughly a third of all the burglaries in H&F.
• Multi-occupancy buildings that are either
purpose built or converted were com-monly targeted, as were terraced prop-erties.
• Doors are targeted more than windows,
with 14% shown as insecure.
• Nearly 80% of offences feature a front
approach, largely from ground level. It is more difficult to measure more spe-cific MOs used.
• Offences peaked on Fridays, with the
start of the week also reporting high numbers.
• Offences were more likely to occur be-
tween 12:00-17:59. A lesser peak can be seen between 02:00-03:59.
• Offenders are targeting small, portable
items which have some value and can be easily converted into cash via a han-dling market.
• Property recovery was rare. Bags and
purses which were stolen were generally searched and then dumped.
• Suspects were generally young IC1 or
IC3 males who reside on the borough with unemployment a factor in their lives.
• 32% of the 267 drug tests in 2011 for
those arrested for burglary tested posi-tive. 10% tested positive for both (cocaine & opiates), 7% for opiates, and 15% for cocaine.
• Targeting the weeks in 2012-13 that
reported a high number of crimes in 2011-12.
• Historically, the winter months show a
high number of crimes. This trend did not occur in 2011-12, however, plans should be in place should this occur in 2012-13.
• Long term and short term burglary areas
are relatively consistent in the borough. Further analysis to understand these areas should be carried out as part of the borough crime picture work. This should be a joint piece or work between the police and the local authority.
• Until the longer term analysis is com-
pleted, peak streets data should be used to inform initial directed crime preven-tion work to reduce the risk of the streets being targeted consistently more than others.
• Crime prevention work should focus on
terrace or multiple occupancy buildings
and their vulnerabilities as they make up a high proportion of the borough’s hous-ing stock and burglary venues. In addi-tion, matching of burglary venues against tenure type could give intelli-gence to better target prevention work.
• Burglary activity as a rule should be
focussed around the mid-week after-noons or early hours. However, the FIM/TTCH process should inform actions that are specific at the time.
• Handling markets are a key driver for
acquisitive crime; including burglary and targeting handling markets in a planned and intelligence led fashion can and should disrupt offending.
• Crime prevention and target hardening
can be incorporated into other streams of work such as warmer homes. This will coincide with the seasonal peak of winter.
• Seasonal trends such as a high number
of crimes in winter did not occur in 2011-12. Why was this? What are the other main factors behind seasonal trends.
• 73% of offences had no suspect descrip-
tion. Due to this, the knowledge around suspects and offenders is limited.

30 Analysis of Strategic Priorities
STREET CRIME
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• There has been a 2.1% reduction in
personal robbery when comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11.
• Personal robbery accounted for 3.2% of
crime but is a risk with violence and weapons being used.
• Seasonal peaks occur in June, Septem-
ber, October, and February. Trend data as well as the victims & suspects sug-gests a link between school term and robberies.
• The Shepherd’s Bush Area was the peak
location for robbery offences in 2011-12, as it has been for the last three years.
• 34% of robbery offences occurred within
250m of an LUL station.
• Robbery offences peak on a Monday.
Otherwise, offences rose throughout the week, peaking at weekends.
• The peak times of 15:00-21:59 and
00:00-00:59 suggests that robberies are connected to the after school period and the night time economy.
• 45% of offences featured some form of
violence, and 28% featured a weapon.
• Mobiles phones were most commonly
stolen, although cash, bags, wallets, and jewellery were also commonly stolen.
• 12% of offences had multiple victims.
• Victims tended to be young IC3 males,
most of whom resided on the borough.
• Robbery offenders were most likely to
offend in groups of two or more, and offenders tended to be young IC3 males. Most resided in the borough.
• Robbery suspects being known by the
victim was not uncommon.
• The number of snatch offences have
seen a significant rise in 2011-12 against 2010-11.
• Snatch offences peaked in the winter
months, with possible links between increased hours of darkness and rises in snatch offences.
• 36% of offences occurred within 250m
of a LUL station.
• Snatch offences peak on Wednesdays
and Saturdays. In terms of time, the peak times are 13:00-13:59 and 17:00-20:59.
• Victims were marginally more likely to
be women than men. Most victims were IC1 and tended to be older, and living in the borough.
• Snatch offenders tended to work alone,
and were nearly all male. 40% of of-fences show the suspect riding a bike.
• 23% of the 109 drug tests in 2011 for
those arrested for robbery tested posi-tive. 6% tested positive for both (cocaine & opiates), 4% for opiates, and 13% for cocaine.
• Although robbery numbers are low,
there remains a level of risk around vio-lence and robbery is subject to a de-manding target for FY12/13 and should be considered one of the boroughs pri-orities for FY12/13.
• May presents the best opportunity for
reductions year on year and some form of robbery activity should occur in that month.
• Seasonally offences rise in June, Sep-
tember, October and February. There appears to be a loose connection with school term dates and combining rob-bery activity with op Protect activity is recommended.
• Around Westfields and Shepherds Bush
Green is the peak location for offences. Long term work around this area to re-duce offences should be employed.
• Around a third of all offences occurred
around an LUL station and measures to reduce offences around these locations
should be considered.
• Offending largely occurs in the after
school period, again suggesting a link in with Op Protect activity could be effec-tive.
• Around 28% of offences were weapons
enabled so other activity to combat the possession and use of weapons is rec-ommended to continue.
• Mobile phones were most commonly
stolen. Identifying handling networks, developing intelligence around them and working to disrupt them could reduce the demand for stolen phones and therefore offences, but given the nature of the item the demand for high end phones is likely to be too big to effec-tively disrupt.
• Victims and suspects were most likely to
be young male residents of the borough. Once again Op Protect activity should be considered as part of the robbery tac-tics.
• Snatch offences are less of a risk and
make up a lower volume of offences but have been rising year after year. There-fore they should be subject to some monitoring and actioning when problems emerge
• Hammersmith is the peak area and pre-
vention work and targeting should focus on this area.
• Many snatches occur to victims who
clearly take out their phones at either lunch times or after work and crime pre-vention work should focus on peoples phone use.
• In particular this should be focussed
around LUL stations where over a third of offences occur
• Seasonal trends such as a high number
of crimes in winter did not occur in 2011-12. Why was this? What are the other main factors behind seasonal trends.

MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• Theft from a MV rose by nearly 16% in
2011-12, with the proportion of overall crime it accounts for rising from 9.3% to 11.1%.
• Seasonality is not a significant factor
in MV crimes in H&F.
• The peak locations for theft from vehi-
cle offences were around North End ward and around Ravenscourt Park ward.
• Most offences occur on the streets
although there are data discrepancies here. A number of streets in these peak areas were targeted consistently more than other streets.
• The borough is an ideal area for a mo-
tor vehicle crime offender. Cars parked on the street can be easily check for property left inside, are well lit by street lighting, and can be checked to see if they are insecure without drawing excessive attention to the offender.
• A high number of offences are linked
to the leisure and retail facilities on the borough. However, the peak times and days do not reflect this, with Saturday showing low level of offences.
• Standard four wheeled family type
vehicles make up the vast majority of theft from mv offences, with the VW Golf and BMW 3-Series most com-monly targeted.
• Windows being smashed is the main
MO, however, a large number of inci-dents include open or insecure cars.
• Property being left on display is a fac-
tor in some, but not all of the of-fences, with the boot area often being opened up by offenders to steal prop-erty. All sorts of property is being stolen.
• Nearly 60% of victims lived on the
borough, with 21% residing out of the MPS.
• Most suspects acted alone, mainly
male, IC1 in appearance, and mostly between 14 to 29 years old.
• A number of named suspects were
linked to high volume of offences.
• 80% of named suspects resided in
H&F. and where recorded, 98% were unemployed.
• TDA offences generally occur over-
night, during the midweek days in residential areas. 70% of the vehicles stolen were two wheeled vehicles.
• Although the monthly spikes in crime
are not seasonally driven, they could occur again. Therefore, policing activi-ties during these periods could generate significant reductions.
• North End, and Ravenscourt Park were
the peak wards, with a number of peak streets within their boundaries. Long term crime prevention efforts should be made in these areas.
• Due to a high number of offences occur-
ring on the street, designing out crime will be difficult. Efforts to eliminate peo-ple leaving property on display, or ve-hices being left insecure should con-tinue.
• The sting car features in a number of
incidents and is clearly an effective tool for capturing offenders. Work with this asset should continue.
• TDA offences are less of a problem than
theft from offences and should be less of a priority. In addition the bulk of of-
fences are the theft of scoters and mo-peds something difficult to prevent.
• Residential areas are the main locations
for TDA offences with bikes and scooters being stolen from the street, where they are often subject to poor security, mak-ing them easy to remove.
• A small number of bikes and scooters
were stolen from pizza delivery compa-nies and they should be expected to make better efforts to secure their vehi-cles.
• There is some gap between the age of a
TDA victim and a TDA suspect, despite scooter and moped use being so com-mon amongst youths. Either youths are choosing not to report thefts, or many of the vehicles they use are stolen or known to be of dubious heritage. Careful checking of scooters and mopeds when carrying out stops of youths should be utilised.
• Feature code use is poor and there are
limitations in measuring the MO used to gain entry and whether property was left on display or not. Efforts to address data quality to improve analysis and understanding should be considered.
• Very little property is shown as recov-
ered despite so much of it appearing to have little or no worth. It may be the case that this is not being correctly re-corded, but understanding of what prop-erty has been recovered or not should be improved.

NOISE
• Except for the Neighbourhood Wardens,
all data sources indicate a decrease in noise incidents when comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11.
• Peak months where there is 10% more
than the annual daily average are be-tween April through to September.
CAD Noise
• In 2011-12, there was a 27% decrease
in noise calls when comparing against 2010-11.
• April 2011 was the only month which
saw an increase on the previous period.
• April 11 through to August 11 are the
peak months, with 10% more than the annual daily average of 2.10 calls.
• All wards have seen a decrease in the
number of calls when comparing 2011-
12 against 2010-11.
CAD Nuisance Neighbours
• There was a 17% decrease in calls when
comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11.
• April and May 2011 were the only
months that saw increases in calls com-pared to the previous period at 39% and 4% respectively.
• April, June, November, and December
are the peak months with 10% more incidents than the annual daily average of 3.43 calls.
• In the months from April 2011 through
to July 2011 there were at least 10% more incidents than the annual daily average of 3.05 R/NN CAD calls. For the months December 2011 through to March 2012 there were at least 10%
less.
• Wormholt & White City (8%), and Sands
End (11%), experienced the largest in-creases.
Noise Nuisance Team
• There were 13% fewer logged calls in
2011-12 compared to 2010-11.
• Palace Riverside, and Parsons Green &
Walham are the two wards that have seen increases in calls.
• April 11 through to September 2011 are

• There has been a 50% increase in the
number of noise incidents logged.
• The estates of Emlyn Gardens and Gibbs
Green saw the largest increases.
ReACT
• The number of ReACT calls has de-
creased by 10% in 2011-12 compared to 2010-11.
• NHWs are the only service to see an
increase in reports of noise nuisance. Investigation needs to be carried out to see if this is a recording issue rather than an operational one.
• Parsons Green & Walham shows a spe-
cific increase in noise from music/entertainment. Investigation should be conducted with licensing and police about any new premises opened in the last 12 months.
• What is the overall % increase or de-
crease of noise nuisance incidents year on year?
• What % is noise nuisance of the total of
all kinds of ASB across the year and how does this compare to previous years?

ReACT
• There has been a 14% increase in Re-
ACT incidents logged when comparing 2011-12 against 2010-11
• Addison, Askew, Town, and College Park
& Old Oak each saw an increase of 100% compared to incidents logged in 2010-11.
VANDALISM
• The number of ReACT calls has de-
creased by 53% in 2011/12 compared to 2010/11. All months showed a decrease in incidents except for August where there was an increase of 29%.

sive) incidents increase by 12% com-pared to 2010/11. April, August and December 2011 all saw an increase of 300% compared to the same period the previous year.
• The number of Graffiti (other) incidents
increase by 15% compared to 2010/11. August and December 2011 saw an in-crease of 113% and 163% respectively,
• The change in peak calls to the NHWs to
between 15:00 and 17:59 suggests school leavers. Investigation to be car-ried out by Local Authority and police to see if there is also a rise in under-age drinking on borough.
• Investigation into January 2012 reports
to be carried out by ASBU to pinpoint where these reports came from and if they are concentrated to a particular place.
• React data will mainly be on estates and
Street Scene on other roads, buildings etc. What is the approach to graffiti/vandalism used on estates compared to other areas? As React shows 53% de-crease and Street Scene 11.8% (racist/offensive) and 14.9% (other) increase.
• Investigation into January 2012 reports

DRUGS
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• The estimated number of Problematic
Drug Users (PDU - Crack and/or Opi-ates) taken from the ‘Glasgow Esti-mates’ has decreased from 2058 in 2008-09 to 1443 in 2009-10. Although many of the London Boroughs have also seen a decrease, the reduction in H&F in one of the highest.
• It is estimated that 48% of the PDU
population in H&F are not known to treatment services.
• Around 45% of clients starting treat-
ment in 2010-11 were new clients.
• Mapping out the location of where those
accessing treatment services live, show a high density in the north of the bor-ough for Heroin and/or Crack users. Cocaine, and Cannabis users are more evenly dispersed across the borough.
• H&F received on average 9.3 referrals
per month from prison substance misuse teams. The average pick up rate is 35%.
• 93% of clients leaving treatment in a
planned way do not re-present back at treatment (based on a 6 month calcula-tion).
• Treatment Outcome Profile analysis
shows that offending behaviour de-creases the longer a client has been in treatment.
• H&F has one of the highest drug related
death rates in London. In addition, the borough also has the second highest rate for drug related mental health and behavioural disorders, and the highest rates of drug poisoning hospital admis-sions in London.
• The rate of those testing negative fol-
lowing arrest of a trigger offence has increased from 57% in 2007 to 70% in 2011.
• Those testing positive for Opiate has
seen a steady decrease from 19% in 2008 to 9% in 2011. Cocaine rates de-creased from 24% in 2008 to 10% in 2010. 2011 reported a rate of 15%
• H&F shows a high correlation of positive
drug tests to drug purities of police force
seizures.
• 32% of those arrested for burglary test
positive for Opiates and/or Cocaine. This compares to 23% for Robbery, and 28% for Theft.
• There were 1586 drug offences in 2011-
12 compared to 1845 in 2010-11.
• 62% of those on the probation caseload
for burglary regard drug misuse as a factor in their offending. This compares to 61% for robbery, 43% for theft, and 34% for violence.
• There are an estimated 168 individuals
on the caseload that were recorded as a parent, involving 302 children.
• Although the Glasgow University Esti-
mates are generally well received, more emphasis and development on local in-telligence is needed.
• In addition to the work carried out by
the DAAT, it is recommended that pro-viders carry greater responsibility to target the treatment naïve population.
• Ensuring that clients referred from
prison substance misuse services are effectively ‘picked up’ by the H&F Crimi-nal Justice Intervention Team.
• Further investigation is needed, possibly
through the Joint Strategic Needs As-sessment, for the reasons behind the high rates of drug related hospital ad-missions, and drug related deaths. Fur-ther actions are then required to address this.
• Analysis show that a high rate of those
using drugs are not testing positive fol-lowing an arrest for a trigger offence. Actions should be taken to target those
known to be using drugs that are testing negative.
• Due to the numbers involved, and the
high level of harm, parents with sub-stance misuse should be considered as an element for wider work and strate-gies such as the Trouble Families pro-ject / Community Budgets.
• 42% of respondents from the 2011 An-
nual Residents Survey feel that people using or dealing drugs is a problem in their local area. This is an increase from 32% in 2010. Plans should be drawn up to address this problem.
• A communication strategy should be
developed to address the concerns of residents.
• Although the Glasgow University Esti-
mates are generally well received, local intelligence still remains a gap in terms of identifying the local picture
• What has caused the rise in residents
feeling that people using or dealing drugs in their local area is a problem.

ALCOHOL
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• There are an estimated 16,548 higher
risk drinkers in LBHF.
• Previously, LBHF had the highest rates
of increasing risk and higher risk drink-ing in London. LBHF now has the 7th lowest in London.
• LBHF has moved from having the 5th
highest binge drinking rates in London to now the 7th.
• LBHF has the highest rates of alcohol
specific hospital admissions for London
(2009-10).
• In the 12 months between December
2010 to November 2011, almost 7% of ambulance call outs in LBHF were alco-hol related. This is the third highest rate in London behind Westminster, and Camden.
• Crime data shows that LBHF have some
of the highest rates in London for alco-hol attributable crime.
• For the year 2010-11, LBHF had the 5th
highest rates in London for alcohol at-tributable violent crime, and the 5th highest rates for alcohol attributable crime in general.
• Instances of ASB peaks between 00:00
and 01:00—almost double the number recorded between 21:00 and 22:00.
• Police data show that 36 licensed prem-
ises accounted for 1095 incidents be-tween 2007 and 2011.
• Two of the licensed premises accounted
for 57% of the 1095 incidents reported above.
• Incidents include the following: bag
snatches, possession of drugs, drug traf-ficking, common assault, theft, pick pocketing, violence, harassment, and sexual offences.
• The SNT reported that there had been
an increase by 21% of notifiable of-fences in 2010/11 which have been linked with the night time economy.
• Users of on-licensed premises often mi-
grated to premises who offered late night refreshments which meant that the safe and quiet dispersal of these groups was made more difficult.
• The Trading Standards Team reported
that from 107 premises visited in the area, nearly 30% failed test purchase sales of age restricted products such as alcohol and cigarettes.
• Waste and Street Services reported that
the cleaning problems associated with the area were urination, vomiting, and staining of pavement.
• High levels of littering and public urina-
tion were the top two types of anti social behaviour reported by residents.
• More work needs to be done with the
Town Centre Management Teams to try and reduce the numbers of alcohol re-lated ambulance calls.
• The Substance Misuse Team to discuss
with Licensing on better town centre management of premises in selling / addressing risky behaviour.
• Alcohol initiatives such as the ‘alcohol
use scratch card’ in custody suites to be better analysed.
• New ways to engage criminal justice
alcohol users should be tried. There is emerging research regarding the use of Identification and Brief Advice in this area.
• A communication strategy should be
developed to address the concern of residents.
• Business / Town Centre Management
representation at CDRP.
The following recommendations are taken from the LBHF Alcohol Licensing Strat-egy for 2011-2013:
A: Building an Evidence Base:
Aim: Using complaints, crime, and other data to develop an accurate picture of key licensing issues across the borough.
Objectives: (1)Adopt a systematic approach
to identify problems and issues. (2)Improve intelligence through accurate infor-mation collection.
Why: See licensing strategy for full details.
How: See licensing strategy for the full list of proposed actions..
B: Providing Advice and Education:
Aim: To empower key partners and stake-holders to utilise the powers available to them under the Licensing Act 2003 and as-sociated legislation.
Objectives: (1)Increase clarity amongst members of the community about the dif-ferent functions of Responsible Authorities. (2)Use legislation and readily available, up-to-date guidance to ensure that we have knowledgeable and skilled officers working in accordance with best practice. (3)Improve perception of safety and reduce the ‘fear of crime’ through active and accu-rate engagement with the news media and other sources.
Why: See licensing strategy for full details.
How: See licensing strategy for the full list of proposed actions..
• Those attending A&E for alcohol related
injury / incidents still remain a large intelligence gap.
• Alcohol, and licensing incidents are re-
ported across a number of different sys-tems with different degrees of accuracy.
• Alcohol consumption, particularly at
home still remains an intelligence gap.
• It is still not fully understood why alco-
hol related harm in LBHF are at such a high level.
D R A F T
45 Analysis of Strategic Priorities
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• Environment Protection Team statistics
for the Shepherd’s Bush study illustrated that between 2005 to 2010, they re-ceived on average 70 complaints, and conducted 40 inspections a year at li-censed premises in the area.
• Alcohol is a major contributing factor
when looking as probation data. Be-tween January 2010 and September 2011, 35% of people of the probation caseload said their alcohol use was linked to their offending. This is the highest rate in Inner London.
• LBHF has the 5th highest rate of li-
censed premises, and the 8th highest rates of premises with 24hour opening in Inner London.
• More males than females find people
being drunk in public places a problem. In addition, 35-54 year olds are more likely to find it a problem.
• More people in the north of the borough
find people being drunk in public places
a problem.
• Between 2009-10 and 2010-11, the
number of those accessing treatment in LBHF has dropped by 33%. This is in contrast to the Inner London picture (excluding H&F) where the rate has in-creased by 5%.
• In 2010-11, the number of clients in
treatment was 353. This is down from the 518 figure reported for 2009-10.
• 80% of Supporting People clients with
alcohol problems had an identified need of maximising income.
• Across the two sites of Charing Cross
Hospital, and Hammersmith Hospital, there were a total of 906 unique indi-viduals with an appointment arranged in 2010-11 to see the alcohol nurse.
C: Regulation and Enforcement
Aim: To use the four licensing objectives and the full range of enforcement options/sanctions to increase the level of compli-ance within licensed premise across the borough.
Objectives: (1)Use early interventions for minor offences to help bring about positive
outcomes for the community by promoting the four licensing objectives. (2)To target those licensed premises that choose to breach their licence conditions and fail to uphold the licensing objectives.
Why: See licensing strategy for full details.
How: See licensing strategy for the full list of proposed actions..
D: Improving Public Health
Aim: Working in partnership to reduce the negative affect of alcohol on public health within the borough.
Objectives: (1)Make it difficult for under eighteens to purchase alcohol in the bor-ough. (2)Promote the benefits of sensible drinking and reducing alcohol intake. (3)Reduce the dependency on alcohol. (4)Improve the health of children and future generations. (5)Reduce the likelihood of drug use on licensed premises.
Why: See licensing strategy for full details.
How: See licensing strategy for the full list of proposed actions..

PUBLIC REASSURANCE
KEY FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS INTELLIGENCE GAPS
• See Page x • Consideration is given to re-scheduling
of the planning cycle between the local authority and local police to ensure that the priorities that arise from the strate-gic assessment feed into major docu-ments and plans such as the Corporate Plan and Communications Strategies.
• A better use of local intelligence and
insight to inform the targeting of com-munication campaigns across the part-nership.
• The Annual Residents Survey is contin-
ued with expanded questions around what would make people feel safer. Con-sideration is given to a widened sample base to allow for more robust, local, and statistically significant local data (at ward level for example).
• Reconsider the use of online consultation
applications given the lack of success in this Assessment. Consider a wider use of the “My Account” functionality held within LBHF to target communications and consultations.
• A rolling programme of consultation be
developed across the year to feed in to next year’s Assessment.
• The borough commits to an ongoing
Annual Business Survey to assess per-ceptions of local business crime, and the impacts of crime on doing business in the borough.
• Possible communications representation
at CDRP.

DEFINITION • A proven re-offence is defined as any of-
fence committed in a one year follow up period and receiving a court conviction, caution, reprimand or warning in the one year follow up or a further six months waiting period. The data source is the extract of the Police National Computer (PNC) held by the Ministry of Justice.
• Further information can be found at http://www.justice.gov.uk/statistics/reoffending/proven-re-offending
OFFENDERS
For this strategic assessment cycle, we are develop-ing an offender profile. By linking in data, informa-tion, and knowledge from across the partnership, we will be able to build up a rich picture of the offending population in H&F. The profile will include the I.O.M cohort which will be a key area of work for the partnership.
The profile is still in development, and is due for completion in June 2012. However, below shows some key findings from the initial analysis.

Proportion of Offenders who Re-Offend
The latest available data shows that at 29.4%, LBHF has the third highest rate in London for offenders (adult and juvenile offenders combined) who re-offend. For both adult offenders and juvenile offenders, LBHF ranks in the top three highest boroughs in Lon-don for the latest available data. Whilst the rate of re-offending for adults has re-mained constant over the last few years, the rate for juvenile offenders has seen a large increase.

For the base timeframe of July 2009 to June 2010, LBHF had an average number of re-offences per offender of 2.83 in the follow up period. Although this is the 5th highest rate in London, the range be-tween the boroughs being low. The average number of re-offences for juvenile of-fenders follows a similar patter to the proportion of juvenile offenders that re-offend. For the 12 months to December 2008, the average number of re-offences in the follow up period was 2.4. This gradu-ally rose to 2.9 for the latest period of June 2010.
During the same period that saw an increase in the average number of juvenile re-offences, the average number of re-offences for adult offenders decreased. Due to this trend, the average number of re-offences for the two separate cohorts were similar for the lat-est period of June 2010. Previously, the average re-offences per offender for adult offenders would gen-erally be higher than that for juvenile offenders.

POLICE ACCUSED DATA
Crimes by Top 20%
A high % of theft crimes such as Theft from MV, Theft of MV, and Theft from Shops were attributable to the top 20% of the accused. For example, 42% of the Theft from MV crimes where the accused were known were attributable by only 20% of the accused. Violent crimes such as Assault with Injury, Common Assault, and Serious Wounding have lower rates. This would suggest that by concentrating resources of the top 20% of the accused, crimes would reduce by a higher proportion for theft crimes than violent crimes.

3 officers from the Parks Constabulary assisted the
Met Police on the Junior Citizens Project for a week in
October.
The Parks Constabulary were involved in a number of
operations, including a joint anti-knife crime opera-
tion with the police, a BARK patrol with police and
council partners, and a joint school education visit with police.
ASBC’s became aware of a drug dealing issue on a
W14 estate. Police identified 5 properties in the local-
ity, which they hoped to execute warrants on. They
also advised that several known individuals are to be targeted along with the addresses. The Council
worked with police and offered assistance with police
operations.
Two Neighbourhood Wardens delivered a presenta-
tion to a well attended women’s’ group at the Sikh
Temple. The theme was around personal safety and
crime prevention. The feedback was very positive, and the wardens plan to build on this new partner-
ship.
Street Scene Enforcement Officers took part in a road
stop with the police aimed at stopping fly tipping at
source. As a result 5 individuals were served with a
notice and 1 with a fixed penalty notice.
Neighbourhood Wardens reached out to residents on
a well known estate through calling on all 167 flats
and holding a residents meeting. Overall most resi-
dents were satisfied with how things are, however, a minority reported various ASB issues which the war-
dens will work to resolve.
The wardens will continue to proactively targeted
rough sleeper hotspots. They ensured, amongst other
outcomes that rough sleepers were signposted to
services. Over 150 interactions were recorded over the year and the borough was recognised as the
highest performing in London.
