Nottingham City is one that stands out the most in terms of crime, and has been profiled locally and nationally as being the worst in the country. Nottingham City also has some of the worst levels of deprivation and there is evidence to suggest there is a close link between disadvantage and high levels of crime and disorder.
The diverse communities are again further disadvantaged due to the criminal justice system failing to meet their needs, adding to that there is not enough being done to appropriately work with the young people who are hardest to reach.

NBP will try and involve the community in opportunities to influence the Crime Disorder Reduction Partnership to start changing policy and service delivery to meet these needs.

National Floor Targets

The National floor targets focus on narrowing the gap in the following:

• Number of burglaries per 1,000 households.
• Vehicle crime.
• Street crime.

Alongside these national targets, there are local indicators, reflecting local priorities:

• Number of young offenders per 1,000 between the ages of 10 and 19. The LSP are further prioritising drug fuelled crime, which is a major challenge for all communities in Nottingham, and needs to target work particularly with young people from the culturally diverse communities.
