ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book analyses the structure of crime prevention policy-making. It examines the home office, the police service, the probation service, crime concern, National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders (NACRO), the local government association and the national community safety network. The book demonstrates how the initiative and drive of individuals led to significant changes within the Home Office. It addresses the role of Nigel Whiskin, the Chief Executive of Crime Concern in making Crime Concern what it is today. The book also demonstrates how Peter Richardson came to organise the National Community Safety Network, in an attempt to decrease the likelihood of community safety officers and other practitioners within the field working in isolation. Crime Concern is an exception to the morgan report statement.
