  6. Home Office Targets - ‘Complimentary or Contradictory?’ • Reduce crime and the fear of crime; improve performance overall, including by reducing the gap between the highest Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership areas. • Improve the delivery of justice by increasing the number of crimes for which an offender is brought to justice to 1.2 million by 2005-06; with an improvement in all CJS areas. • Deliver effective custodial and community sentences to reduce re-offending and protect the public. • Increase value for money from the Criminal Justice System, and the rest of the Home Office, by 3%; and ensure annual efficiency gains by the police of at least 2%.

  7. Justice performance measures and children… asking the questions • Are they suitable for addressing the needs of children? • Do they enhance the multi agency commitment to meeting the needs of children? • Are they capable of identifying the failure of agencies to meet the needs of children? • Do they help to focus and prioritise the activities of the justice sector in meeting the needs of children? • Do they provide a stimulus to the justice sector to improve its performance relating to children?
