Aims to reduce burglary nationally by targeting areas with the worst domestic burglary problems. Round 1 and 2 applicants needed to have a level of burglaries twice the national average and schemes were limited to a duration of one year. Round 3 applicants needed levels of burglaries 1½ times the national average and are of unlimited duration. Between 1999 and 2002, an estimated 2 million homes were covered, preventing an estimated 15,000 burglaries per year. A budget of £25 million over three years. See the 2002 evaluation. |
