Sheffield is ahead of the game when it comes to taking policing closer to the heart of local communities. It was one of the first UK pilot areas to set up the dedicated teams, which work across the city.
We know that risk differs across the year – ‘sneak-in’ burglaries are common when windows and doors are left ajar during warmer summer months and the Christmas period.
There has been much work done to alert local people and visitors to the risk of leaving any property visible in parked cars and to ensure that out car parks have increased security.
The definition of violent crime includes not only those offences, which involve violence to the person, but also sexual offences and robbery – both of personal property and that associated with businesses.
Whilst much substance abuse is, in itself, a criminal offence, most people who use controlled drugs commit no other criminal offences. However, amongst offenders with a drugs habit, finding money can escalate offending behaviour.
The city’s approach to dealing with anti-social behaviour is to prevent and deter it wherever possible, using sanctions where necessary.
