The Home Office has published the Tackling Violence Action Plan Implementation Guidance. This document includes operational structures and plans local partnerships should consider putting in place to deliver reductions in serious violence in their local areas. It also contains a number of best practice case studies.
In Publications > Crime and individuals - Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs)
This guide explains the powers given to Local Authorities in England and Wales to introduce Designated Public Place Orders (DPPOs). DPPO powers enable Local Authorities to designate places where restrictions on public drinking apply. The purpose of this guidance is to set out examples of good practice which Local Authorities may wish to follow.
In Publications > Crime and communities - Tackling Knives
Since June the Government has been working with ten police force areas in England and Wales to reduce the number of teenagers killed or seriously wounded by knives and to increase public confidence that our streets are safe. Thanks to additional funding, tough new guidance and hard work by the forces themselves, working side by side with local people, the results are already clear.
In Publications > Crime and individuals - Piloting Penalty Notices for Disorder (PNDs) for 10-15 year-olds
This research report looked at the effectiveness of issuing PNDs to younger people. They were found to be effective in catching and deterring yougsters who offend early, but concerns were raised about repeat offending levels and the PND punishing the parent/guardian rather than the young offender.
In Research > Crime solutions - Progress on Domestic Violence
The Home Office's Violent Crime Unit has published the 2007/08 annual report on the National Domestic Violence Delivery Plan.
