MAKING THE LINKS:POLICING AND CRIME PREVENTION
‘The clue is in the name. These will be Police AND CRIME Commissioners … now is the time for local authorities and the voluntary, private and public sectors to begin considering how they can play their part as a critical partner to the PCC in cutting crime’
Nick Herbert, then Minister for Policing and Criminal Justice, 2011
MAKING THE LINKS:DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
The urban area of Norwich has a population of 194,839.
Violence costs NHS £2.9 billion a year
Around half of violent offences are thought to be alcohol related (44% in 2010-11)
In around a fifth of violent crimes, the victims perceive the perpetrator as having been under the influence of drugs
"Women experiencing domestic violence are up to fifteen times more likely to misuse alcohol and nine times more likely to misuse other drugs than women generally“ WOMEN’S AID
