dc.description.abstract | Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the local dimensions of the "crime decline". Design/methodology/approach - Two focus groups and 15 semi-structured interviews with local practitioners. Findings - Some offences have fallen significantly in the case study site in the last ten to 12 years. Local practitioners tended to explain these declines with reference to local services and programmes. These declines have potentially contributed to the reduction in crime prevention infrastructure and there is concern that funding will be reduced as crime falls. Research limitations/implications - The findings have been generated from a single case study site. While aspects of the findings resonate beyond the case study area, there are some characteristics of the site that limit the application of the findings to other areas. Practical implications - The findings from this research have few practical implications. The research sought to understand dimensions of local crime and the impact on local activities. Social implications - This research provides some insights into crime trends and local responses to crime. The findings will be of interest to crime prevention and community safety practitioners and policy makers. Originality/value - There has been little analysis of the impact of the "crime decline" on local communities and community safety infrastructure. Therefore this paper is original and adds to the growing knowledge of the "crime decline". | en |
