6. Partnership needs a shared understanding based on evidence • Community Safety Partners • strategic assessment • Moving to cover offender, place, crime • Health Wellbeing Board • JSNA • prison needs assessment, mental health, alcohol, drugs, inequalities • Policing • Threat Risk Harm Assessment • Sets policing priorities and control strategy

7. Why another needs assessment in Cambridgeshire? • No shared segmentation of the agenda • partners look at issues from different perspective • this in not always people focused • Couldn’t answer basic questions: • How many offenders? • How many victims? • How many witnesses?

8. Our work seeks to: • Answer simple questions • What do we mean when we talk about an offenders? • How many are there? • What is their demographic profile? • What is their needs profile? • How are patterns changing in response to interventions? • Similarly for victims • Similarly for witnesses

9. How we’ve approached work • Multi agency steering group • Link to Health Wellbeing Board • Link to County Wide Community Safety Board – which in turn links to CSP • Driven by same people who do CSP assessments • Link to JSNA methodology • Funded Police Authority - £16k • Will be taken through committee so in public visible to all potential candidates

10. Where we’re up to • Project Implementation Document • Drawing together shared high level picture • This will inform: • priorities within police and crime plan • Segmentation of the population we serve

11. Things found:

12. National findings I • 5 million children in England are aged 10 to 17 of these 23,437 had at least one offence that resulted in a reprimand, warning, caution or conviction. Of these 45,519 (37%) were first offences, and the rest were further offences. • The average population in custody (under 18) in 2010/11 was 2,040, down 16 per cent from an average of 2,418 in 2009/10. • The average population in 2010/11 (including 18 year olds held in the youth secure estate) was 2,222. This is a 17 per cent reduction on the 2009/10 figure of 2,670. • 7,000 children and young people are held in the secure estate during the course of a year.

13. National findings II • children and young people in the YJS that: • Over 75% have a history of temporary or permanent school exclusion (custody)and have serious difficulties with literacy and numeracy (custody) • Over 50% of young people who commit an offence have been a victim of crime – twice the rate for non-offenders • Over 33% have been looked after (custody) • Over 25% have a learning disability (community and custody) • Approximately 200,000 children had a parent in prison at some point in 2009 http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/statistics/youth-justice/yjb-statistics-10-11.pdf

14. So What • Need simple high level understanding of the people we all serve: victim, offenders and witness. • This will allow us to understand which interventions support which groups to change behaviour and achieve better outcomes • For example: • Age and importance of desistance theory • decrease in First Time Entrants to the justice system, do all systems know about this. How does this relate to work on sure start and YOTs • Women very different profile of offenders and offences - Women offender focus? • This will inform draft police and crime plan • Aim to create better understand of link to health and well being strategy and who leads on what

15. Next step • June first draft of victim, offender and witness needs assessment • July / August / Sept draft Police & Crime objectives to: • Partners • shadow Police & Crime Panel • shadow health and well-being board • October 2012 – link PCC’s manifestos in to the process • Nov 2012 draft Police & Crime Plan for newly elected PCC to consider • Jan 2013 Police and Crime Plan to be considered by partners including Police and Crime Panel • March 2013 Publication of Police and Crime Plan

16. Summary • Evidence based process with partners, builds and seeks to add value to existing work • Should give shared understanding of who victims, offenders and witnesses are. • Allowing technocratic production of draft Police & Crime Plan ahead of Nov 2012 election to provide foundation for Police & Crime Commissioner • Everyone different has starting point and different end points linked to different plan
