Proposed Statutory Performance Indicators

Promoting Safety

The domain will be used to ensure key services over-and-above those related to crime are reflected and to ensure that action is taken to minimise the risk they pose to themselves and their communities.

SPI No. Indicator Description Previous Last Year 2008/09 Target
2006/07 2007-08 2007-08 Target MSG 4 Average 2008/09 Proposed Target Other Consid-erations in Setting Target
4.1 Percentage of people with high level of perceived anti-social behaviour (seven-strand BCS measure) 9.7% 8.5% 1 12% 10.4% 10% The target has been revised to benchmark performance against the MSG average in 2007/08.
4.2 Percentage of people who perceive people being drunk or rowdy in public places to be a problem in their local area N/A N/A New New New data No Target The data source for this measure will be ‘The British Crime Survey.

7.1 Number of deliberate primary fires and secondary deliberate fires per 10,000 population (Fire Service) N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A APACS Source - Fire Service. As a result it’s not appropriate to set a discrete Police target.

The casualty target equates to a drop of 5%.

5.2 Number of serious acquisitive crimes per 1,000 population (PSA 23; Priority Action 2) 5.58 (2,822 offences) 5.46 (2,752 offences) New New 5.5 Benchmarked on 07/08 Total This is a new measure for 2008/09. No comparative data It is therefore appropriate to benchmark performance on end of year performance in 2007/08.
5.3 Assault with injury’ crimes per 1,000 NEW population 6.9 5 (3,465 offences) 5.49 5 (2,764 offences) New 6.0 5 5.5 Benchmarked on 07/08 Total As a new measure it is therefore appropriate to benchmark performance on end of year performance in 2007/08.

It is therefore appropriate to benchmark performance on end of year performance in 2007/08.
6.2 Percentage of serious acquisitive crimes brought to justice rate (PSA 23; Priority Action 2) N/A N/A New New New Measure - No Target Crimes brought to justice data is collated and distributed by the Home Office and OCJR (Office for Criminal Justice Reform) based on courts data.

As a result it’s not appropriate to set a discrete Police target.
11.2 Rate of proven re-offending by young offenders (YOT) N/A N/A New New New Measure - No Target This is a new measure, as such no comparative or force data is currently available therefore it is not appropriate to set a target.

Confidence and Satisfaction

This domain is used to bring together important perception based information - part of which is showing that community safety partners, and others, understand local concerns and are taking steps to address them. The domain also deals with direct service provision: obtaining feedback from people coming into contact with the police and other public services, which is used to learn lessons and help ensure other people will be satisfied with the service they receive.

SPI No. Indicator Description Previous Last Year 2008/09 Target
2006/07 2007-08 2007-08 Target MSG 4 Average 2008/09 Proposed Target Other Consid-erations in Setting Target
2.1 People who agree that the police and local councils seek their views on anti-social behaviour and crime in their area. N/A N/A New New New Data No Target The data source for this measure will be ‘The British Crime Survey. This question was only introduced into the BCS in October 2007 and so no data is currently available.
2.2 People who agree that the police and local councils are dealing with antisocial behaviour and crime that matter in their area N/A N/A New New New Data No Target The data source for this measure will be ‘The British Crime Survey. This question was only introduced into the BCS in October 2007 and so no data is currently available.
2.3 Percentage of people who think the police in their area are doing a good job 56.6% 55.6% 7 56% 53.5% 7 56% Benchmarked on 07/08 total This BCS based has recorded performance consistently around the 56% mark (within the top quartile of all forces in E&W). It is therefore appropriate to consolidate and benchmark the target on end of year performance in 2007/08.
1.1 Percentage of victims that are satisfied with the overall service provided by the police 83% 84.1% 86% 82.6% 86% This measure has been in place for a number of years. Performance has consistently been among the highest of all forces. Projected performance in 2007/08 is likely to attain the target level of 86% - it is therefore appropriate to consolidate performance at this high level in 2008/09.
1.2 Satisfaction gap between white and BME victims when comparing victim satisfaction with the overall service provided by the police White - 83% BME - 78.8% White - 83.7% BME - 77.7% White - 86% BME - 86% White - 83.4% BME - 77.4% Both 86% Benchmarked on 07/08 total This measure of proportionality has been in place for a number of years. Projected performance in 2007/08 is likely to fall a little short of complete parity. It is therefore appropriate to consolidate performance at this high level in 2008/09.
1.4 Overall satisfaction with the contact had with the Criminal Justice System by victims and witnesses of crime whose cases reach the point of an offender being charged 81% 75% New 80% 75% Benchmarked on 07/08 total The source for this new measure is the WAVES survey (Witness and Victim Experience Survey), which has been inn place for nearly two years. It is therefore appropriate to benchmark the target on end of year performance in 2007/08.
2.4 Percentage of the public who are confident that the Criminal Justice System as a whole is effective. N/A N/A New New New Data No Target The data source for this measure will be ‘The British Crime Survey. This question has not yet been introduced into the BCS and so no data is currently available.
