Isle of Wight Community Safety Partnership Strategic Assessment of Community Safety
2009/2010
Executive Summary
As of the 1st August 2007, the three-yearly audits required by the Crime and Disorder Act
1998 have been replaced with annual strategic assessments. The change came to ensure
that Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) are aware of local priorities, so that as the
problems change in an area, the focus of the partnerships reflect this change.
This is the third Isle of Wight CSP strategic assessment following the reform of the Crime
and Disorder Act. The purpose of this strategic assessment is to assist the Isle of Wight CSP
in the development and revision of the three year partnership plan. The results of the
strategic assessment will provide a foundation for future work for the Isle of Wight CSP and
aid decision-making. It will also help to ensure that the Isle of Wight CSP makes the best use
of public resources when targeting identified issues.
The partnership assessment builds on the police tactical assessment and brings together a
wide range of data from other sources such as the Youth Offending Team (YOT),
Community Safety Services incident reports, Isle of Wight Council data, Drug Treatment
agencies data, Primary Care Trust data and contributions from other partner agencies.
The assessment aims to establish an accurate picture of current and emerging trends within
the Island relating to community safety and, to draw comparisons to regional and national
data where appropriate and possible. An integral part of conducting this assessment has
been to highlight areas for improvement in terms of partnership working as well as data
quality and collection for future assessments.
Key Findings
Data gathered for the Strategic Assessment 2009/10 shows the improved performance of the
Isle of Wight Community Safety Partnership, in particular reductions in both the ‘All Crimes’
category and in the majority of separate crime categories.
