An umbrella scheme covering 15 separate projects aimed at the Government's general crime reduction targets. A particular target was to reduce domestic burglary by 25 % from a 1998/99 baseline, with no local authority area having a rate more than three times the national average by 2005. A budget of £250 million for 2000-2003, with a further £150 million for the CCTV initiative. Local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships now receive direct funding, with a budget of £84 million a year. |
