What is a Strategic Assessment?

The 2014-15 Strategic Intelligence Assessment is a statutory document
produced on a yearly basis. Its purpose is to provide an overview of crime
and disorder for the previous year, and to make recommendations as to
the Community Safety Partnership priorities for the forthcoming year.

It is a Partnership assessment and includes analysis of data and expert
information from a number of sources:
Police
London Ambulance Service
Richmond Council
London Fire Brigade
NHS Richmond
Achieving for Children
London Probation Service
- Community Rehabilitation Company
- National Probation Service
Community Safety Partnership Priorities
The following areas were identified as priorities for the
CSP from the last Strategic Assessment 2013-14:
• Anti-social behaviour (ASB);
• Town centre crime and night time economy;
• Domestic abuse;
• Re-offending including drugs misuse;
• Burglary;
• High volume low level crime awareness.
Data Limitations
•
For the purposes of analytical continuity, all performance comparisons in
the assessment are taken from the Iquanta website and are based on
yearly performance;
•
To improve the information in the Assessment, additional background
profiles have been commissioned looking at domestic violence, hate
crime, child sexual, exploitation, re-offending and ASB to improve the
information;
•
Partner data is an essential part of the collection and collation process;
•
These profiles will be continually updated to provide a picture of these
crime types in the borough and will be used to inform the current and
future strategic intelligence assessments;
•
The profiles will be available in April.

- The main types of council recorded ASB were fly-tipping (29%) and noise (23%)
(April-December 2014)
- It remains a police and partnership priority and a key factor regarding quality of life.
Crime Update

Richmond Town Centre
- Remains the borough’s main crime hotspot, accounting for nearly 9% of overall
offences, though this proportion has decreased a little in comparison with the last
two years.

Twickenham Town Centre
– Has a smaller concentration of crime, accounting for 4% of the borough’s total
offences;
– As a proportion of overall crime, this has decreased slightly in the past 12 months
and offence levels have remained stable in the latest quarter compared with the
previous three months;

The Town centres remain a big generator for the total notifiable offences in the
borough.
.
Performance

Richmond upon Thames is currently the fourth safest borough in London for
overall crime. The safest borough is Harrow. Our most similar borough (by
crime rate per 1,000 population) is Kingston, which is fifth; (12 months
rolling);

Richmond is the safest borough for violent offences in London, (a rate of
10.4 crimes per 1,000 population, compared to the next borough (Kingston)
which had 11.9 crimes per 1,000); (12 months rolling);

Overall, crime in the borough is higher by 197 (+2%) crimes from AprilDecember 2014, compared to April-December 2013.
Anti-Social Behaviour

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is defined as ‘behaviour which causes or is
likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress to one or more people who
are not in the same household as the perpetrator’;

Police and Council record different kinds of ASB;

From April-December 2014 Police recorded ASB decreased by 25% (-1047
calls) compared to the previous year;

45% (1401) of Police recorded ASB was in relation to ‘rowdy &
inconsiderate behaviour’;

Over the last two years, for LA recorded ASB, graffiti and noise percentages
have remained stationary, while litter has seen a 1% reduction;

The public satisfaction with how partner agencies are dealing with crime
and ASB stands at 72%, a 5% increase on 2013-14, which meets the target
set.
Hate Crime

There were 120 Police recorded hate crime incidents during 2014,
which is a increase of 47 crimes on 2013-14;

The increase is due to more reports being officially recorded on
police systems as a crime than in previous years; allegations or
incidents have now become crimes;

110 were racial offences,10 were homophobic offences and there
were no disability hate crimes;

Richmond Council received one hate crime report during 2014;

Mobility Forum and Action Group (service users) revealed that 14%
of respondents felt they had been a victim of disability hate crime.
Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse crime levels in Richmond have risen by 26%. From AprilDecember 2014, there were 641 incidents compared to 506 for the previous
period);

This rise has been seen across London and is partly due to the changes in
recording of violent crime;
