reducing burglary initiative  

Definition

  • In 1999, the British government committed more than £250 million to the Crime Reduction Programme (CRP), to be administered by the Home Office in England and Wales. After the British government's 1998 Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR), the CRP was launched as an initiative in evidence-based policy—with the specific intentions both of grounding crime prevention in reliable knowledge about what works and of learning lessons from practical crime prevention activities— especially about cost-effectiveness—so that they might be passed on to future government programs and local crime prevention partnerships.
