Street crime in London: deterrence, disruption and displacement
online resource
posted on 2006-02-28, 17:55 authored by Kathryn Curran, Michael Dale, Mark Edmunds, Mike Hough, Andrew Millie, Melissa WagstaffIn early 2002 the Government implemented the Street Crime Initiative (SCI) in response to a rapid rise in street crime and growing public and media concern. The report examines the nature of street crime in the capital during 2001/02 and the early stages of the government initiative designed to tackle it.
The study takes an innovative approach combining offence statistics, information gathered from interviews with offenders and those involved in the Street Crime Initiative (SCI) and crime mapping techniques to assess the impact of the SCI. It pays particular attention to how these offences can displace into other forms of crime or shift across time or place. It was precisely these issues which led the Government Office for London ultimately to commission this study in order to understand the nature of street crime across the London region.
