Recommendations SummaryIn considering the priorities for 2011/12 onwards the Community Safety Partnershipneed to consider the reducing resources, both financial and physical, identifiedthroughout this assessment. Concentrating on fewer priorities will allow thepartnership to focus their resources and activities in order to be more effective inthese areas.• Acquisitive crime should be refocused as a priority to include just domesticburglary in both districts, non-domestic burglary offences in East Lindsey andtheft from vehicles in Boston.• Anti-Social Behaviour should remain as a priority due to the volume of incidentsand the impact this has on the community and their confidence in partneragencies. Anti-social behaviour was also identified by the public as the toppriority for the partnership to tackle.• As road safety is managed through the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership theCSP must consider how they can influence this and if activity should insteadfocus on ASB related vehicle nuisance• Violent crime including domestic abuse should remain a priority for thepartnership due to the volume and trend in offences and the harm caused byviolent crime. Activity should focus on reducing violence associated with thenight time economy, prevention through working with schools and young peopleas well as increasing reporting of hate crime and domestic abuse withindifferent communities.• Due to the contribution both alcohol and drugs make to the levels of crime andASB in each district and the strong causal links they have to offending thepartnership is recommended to consider this as a priority.
