Confident Communities in a Secure Britain

The Home Office Strategic Plan 2004-08

By: Great Britain. Home Office

This five year plan should be read in conjunction with the Strategic plan for the criminal justice system (ISBN 010162882x) to see how the Home Office will take forward its objectives. It is in four main sections: the strategy for reducing crime, drug abuse and insecurity; building cohesive communities; managing migration; managing the Home Office. Amongst the measures is a greater focus on the more prolific offenders, an increased use of tagging and an expansion of treatment places for drug users. There will also be an investment of £800 million to integrate IT systems and there is a plan to introduce biometric ID cards by 2008.

Financial Management in the Home Office

Report

By: Great Britain. National Audit Office

The Home Office has made substantial improvements in its financial management since 2006, when the Comptroller and Auditor General disclaimed an opinion on its 2004-05 Resource Accounts. Further sustained improvement will still be needed over the next few years, so that good financial management becomes "business as usual" across all of the Department's operations, which will help the Department maximise the value for money of its service delivery. The Department has increased the number of professionally qualified finance staff, particularly in senior finance roles, and has improved financial governance and leadership. Improvements are also evident in the Department's financial planning and decision making; budgeting; financial monitoring and forecasting; and financial reporting. The unqualified audit opinion on its 2007-08 Resource Accounts was an important symbol of the progress made. There are areas for further improvement. The strategic management of the Department's capital programme has not been responsive enough to avoid large underspends, which amounted to £725 million over the 5 years to 31 March 2008. The Treasury has capped access to these funds at £292 million and the Department will need to deliver on the plans it has in place to use them by 2010-11. The Department also needs to develop further its understanding of the cost of its activities and the relationship between resource consumption and service outcomes. The Department recognises these issues and has been undertaking work with the aim of improving capital programme management and the basis on which decisions are made for funding allocations.

Working together to cut crime and deliver justice

a strategic plan for 2008-2011

By: Great Britain: Office for Criminal Justice Reform

This document details the Government's strategic plan for the criminal justice system to 2011 based on four priorities: effectiveness in bringing offences to justice; engaging the public and inspiring their confidence; putting the needs of victims at the heart of the justice system; and developing simple and efficient processes which make the best use of resources, expertise and technology. To deliver efficient and effective services, the criminal justice agencies (including the police, prosecution services, courts, youth justice, probation and prison services) will need to work closely together through their local criminal justice boards (LCJBs) and other local partnerships. This will also support the Government's wider crime reduction and re-offending strategies to make communities safer, as set out in the Home Office crime strategy document "Cutting crime: a new partnership 2008-2011" (available at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/crime-strategy-07/crime-strategy-07?view=Binary).

The governance of Britain

managing protest around Parliament

By: Great Britain: Home Office

The right to peaceful protest is a key part of a democratic society, particularly in the vicinity of Parliament given that it is the seat of our elected representatives. Following on from a Green Paper (Cm. 7170, ISBN 9780101717021) published in July 2007, this consultation paper seeks views on the framework governing the right to protest around Parliament, looking at the wider context of legislation governing protests and demonstrations in England and Wales. It considers the general legislative framework for public protests, such as assemblies and marches, under the Public Order Act 1986, the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights. It also looks at arguments in favour of having specific rules governing the area around Parliament, including security concerns. The consultation process ends on 17/01/2008.

The Government's response to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee report

The Government's response to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee report

young black people and the criminal justice system

By: Great Britain: Ministry of Justice

Young black people are over represented at all stages of the criminal justice system (CJS), forming 2.7 per cent of the population aged 10-17 but comprising 8.5 per cent of that age group arrested in England and Wales. They are more likely to be stopped and searched, less likely to be given unconditional bail and more likely to be remanded in custody. This publication sets out the Government's reply to the Committee's inquiry (HCP 181-I, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780215034465) into the relationship between young black people and the CJS, focusing on the reasons for their over-representation in the system; as well as underlying factors such as entrenched poverty; educational underachievement; school exclusions; family breakdown; lack of role models; and discrimination in the criminal justice system.

From the Neighbourhood to the National

Policing Our Communities Together

By: Great Britain. Home Office

This green paper focuses on seven key issues. Chapter 1 is about the local dimension, and builds on the success of neighbourhood policing by giving the public more chance to drive local priorities and more information on what is being achieved and the service standards to the public. Chapter 2 describes plans to reduce bureaucracy and red-tape and increase use of technology. The next chapter deals with the officers and staff of the service. Chapter 4 explains improvements to the development and deployment of the police workforce. Government support for these changes is set out in Chapter 5, and Chapter 6 covers the progress made in working across police forces to improve "protective services" and the further steps the Government will take to encourage collaboration and co-operation between forces. It also sets out the approach to counter terrorism policing and policing the UK's borders. Chapter 7 outlines plans for a radical reshaping of national performance management arrangement.

A Points-based System

Making Migration Work for Britain

By: Great Britain: Home Office

This document sets out the Governments proposals for a new points-based approach to managing the flow of migrants coming to the UK to work or study. Whilst it is generally agreed that migration makes a substantial contribution to economic growth, fills gaps in the labour market, and increases investment, innovation and entrepreneurship, and enriches cultural diversity, it needs to be managed. The Government proposes a five-tier framework, to help people understand how the system works and to direct applicants to the category that is most appropriate for them. The tiers are: (1) highly skilled individuals to contribute to growth and productivity; (2) skilled workers with a job offer to fill gaps in the UK labour force; (3) limited numbers of low skilled workers needed to fill specific temporary labour shortages; (4) students; (5) youth mobility and temporary workers, people allowed to work in the UK for a limited period of time to satisfy primarily non-economic objectives. For each tier applicants will need sufficient points to obtain entry clearance or leave to remain in the UK. Points will be awarded according to objective and transparent criteria, giving a structured decision-making process. Applicants in tiers 2 to 5 will need a certificate of sponsorship. The Government aims for a system that better identifies and attracts migrants who have most to offer the UK; is more efficient, transparent and objective; and that improves compliance and reduces the scope for abuse.

Counter-terrorism measures in British airports

ninth report of session 2009-10, report, together with formal minutes, oral and written evidence

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee

The Home Affairs Committee states in a report published today (HCP 311, session 2009-10, ISBN 9780215545060) that the wider introduction of full-body scanners is a welcome development in airport security. It states though that the Government's position of adopting "proportionate" measures is a euphemism for adopting a wholly reactive stance and waiting for terrorists to demonstrate their new capabilities before implementing improved security measures. In view of the ongoing terrorist threat to airline passengers and staff the Committee urge the Government to constantly look for further technological measures to improve airport security. The Committee is satisfied that the privacy concerns that have been expressed in relation to these devices are overstated and that privacy concerns should not prevent the deployment of scanners, but is concerned at the delay in the introduction of other security devices such as hand-held Electronic Trace Detection equipment. The Committee also says that the Government should be wary of relying on one make or model of equipment and where possible conceal the technical specifications of equipment away from the public gaze. Also international standards in aviation security must be made more stringent and more must be done to tackle terrorism at the source. The Committee also raises concerns at the institutional separation of airport security from wider counter-terrorism measures.

Prevent strategy

By: Great Britain: Home Office

The Prevent strategy, launched in 2007 seeks to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism both in the UK and overseas. It is the preventative strand of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. Over the past few years Prevent has not been fully effective and it needs to change. This review evaluates work to date and sets out how Prevent will be implemented in the future. Specifically Prevent will aim to: respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it; prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support; and work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalization which need to be addressed

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The United Kingdom's Strategy for Countering International Terrorism

By: Home Office

This document sets out the United Kingdom's strategy, known as CONTEST, for countering the threat from international terrorism. The aim of CONTEST is to reduce the risk to the United Kingdom (UK) and its interests overseas from international terrorism, so that people can go about their lives freely and with confidence. This is a revised and more detailed version of the strategy contained in "The national security strategy of the United Kingdom" (Cm. 7291, 2008, ISBN 9780101729123). The first part sets the context with a brief history of the changing threat to the United Kingdom and to UK interests overseas from international terrorism, examines the present threat, the factors which are shaping it and the assumptions about how it may develop. The second part sets out the principles which will govern the strategy, including a commitment to human rights and the rule of law, recognition of the need to address the causes as well as the symptoms of terrorism and the need to co-operate with other countries. The four main streams of the CONTEST strategy are: (1) pursue - to stop terrorist attacks; (2) prevent - to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting violent extremism; (3) protect - to strengthen our protection against terrorist attack; (4) prepare - where an attack cannot be stopped, to mitigate its impact. The third part of the document outlines who will deliver the strategy and how its impact will be measured. The document concludes with a section explaining the importance of communications as a part of the counter-terrorism strategy.

Amended Guidance Issued Under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003

This document sets out the amended guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 (ISBN 9780105417033), originally published 17.07.2003. The 2003 Act is amended by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, ISBN 9780105413110, (issued 27.09.2011). It revises the 2003 Act, providing greater flexibility for local communities and licensing authorities to shape and determine local licensing. It also provides for local authorities and the police to have much stronger powers in removing and granting licences to any premises which are causing problems and giving the option to shut down permanently any shop or bar found to be persistently selling alcohol to children and to double the maximum fine to GBP20,000.

Reducing the risk of violent crime

the Home Office

By: Great Britain: National Audit Office

The Home Office has been effective at raising the profile of domestic violence and alcohol related crime and encouraging local action to address these issues. Such action is likely to have made some contribution to the overall fall in levels of violent crime. It has not yet managed to address successfully barriers which are reducing the effectiveness of crime prevention activities at a local level and which have been raised in previous reports by the National Audit Office and the Committee of Public Accounts. However, the Home Office has made some progress in addressing these barriers. The persistence of these barriers means that good practice has not been extended from small initiatives, and Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships have not been able to take a long-term, strategic approach to tackling violent crime. There are a number of NAO recommendations.

Tax in Developing Countries

Increasing Resources for Development, Fourth Report of Session 2012-13, Vol. 1: Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: International Development Committee

This report highlights the importance of tax collection in developing countries, and recommends that the UK's aid programme should increase its focus on supporting tax authorities. This is equally valid for all forms of taxation, including VAT, personal income taxation and corporate taxation. It is also essential that taxes are paid on a fair and equal basis by all. New tax rules on developing countries, the Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) rules are designed to discourage UK-owned corporations from using tax havens. Traditionally these rules have applied to all UK-owned corporations - both those operating in the UK and those operating overseas. Under the new rules, however, this will apply only to corporations operating in the UK, making it easier for those operating in developing countries to use tax havens. A number of NGOs have campaigned vigorously against the changes, with ActionAid estimating that developing countries may lose up to £4 billion in tax revenues as a result. The UK Government does not accept this estimate, but does not deny that there will be some cost to developing countries. The Committee recommends that - subject to the outcome of its own analysis - the Government should consider reversing the change as a matter of urgency. The Committee also received evidence which argued that the Government should require UK-owned companies to report their financial information on a country-by-country basis, rather than on an aggregate basis. The Government is reluctant to act unless other EU countries do likewise, but the Committee believes that it should act unilaterally

Fourth validation compendium report

Vol. 2

By: Great Britain: National Audit Office

In 2004, the Government announced 110 Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets for 17 Departments covering the period 2005-08. PSA targets express the priority outcomes that Departments are seeking to achieve nationally and internationally, and cover key aspects of the Government's social, economic and environmental policy. Large sums of public money are devoted to the programmes designed to deliver them. This NAO report summarises the results of its examination of the data systems used by twelve government departments to monitor and report progress against their 2005-08 PSA targets, covering a total of 237 data systems. Overall Departments have successfully taken steps to improve the quality of their data systems. There are still improvements that can be made to increase the relevance and reliability of data used in the reporting process. The NAO makes a number of recommendations on specification of data systems, their operation, and the reporting of data. A companion volume (HCP 22-I, ISBN 9780102951615) is available separately which contains the NAO's summarised findings.

Ending gang and youth violence

a cross-government report

By: Great Britain: Home Office

This cross-government report drawn up in close consultation with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and other Cabinet Ministers is seen as an important first analysis of the problem of gangs and the interventions that work. It provides a platform for the intensive support that will need to be provided to the areas most affected. The riots that occurred in London and other parts of England during August 2011, had a gang aspect. In London, one in five of those arrested in connection with the riots were known gang members. Gangs and serious youth violence are seen as the product of high levels of social breakdown and disadvantage. Gangs themselves, create a culture of violence and criminality. The report makes clear that intensive police action is needed to stop the violence and bring perpetrators to justice, but this should be done alongside robust offers of support and an intensive prevention strategy. The proposals are wide-ranging but focus on five specific areas: (i) providing support - to local areas to tackle gang or youth violence; (ii) prevention - stopping young people becoming involved in serious violence; (iii) pathways out - offering exit strategies away from violence and gang culture; (iv) punishment - preventing the violence of those refusing to exit violent lifestyles; (v) partnership working - to join up the way local areas respond to gangs and youth violence.

CONTEST

the United Kingdom's strategy for countering terrorism

By: Great Britain: Home Office

This is the third published version of the United Kingdom's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. This new strategy reflects the changing terrorist threat and incorporates new Government policies on counter-terrorism. The strategy, though, will continue to be organised around four workstreams, each comprising a number of key objectives: pursue - stop terrorist attacks; prevent - to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism; protect - to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack; and prepare - to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack. International counter-terrorism work since 9/11 has made considerable progress in reducing the threats we face. Al Qai'da is now significantly weaker than it has been for ten years. But it is recognised that the overall terrorist threat we face continues to be significant and that is reflected in this strategy. Whilst the Government is determined to maintain the capabilities to meet the aim of reducing the risk to the UK and its interests overseas it is also determined to have a strategy that is not only more effective but more proportionate, focused and more precise

Putting victims first

Putting victims first

more effective responses to anti-social behaviour

By: Great Britain: Home Office

The aim of this White Paper is to set out proposals to deal with anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour is a broad term used to describe the day-to-day incidents of crime, nuisance and disorder that make many people's lives a misery - from litter and vandalism, to public drunkenness or aggressive dogs, to noisy or abusive neighbours. Such a wide range of behaviours means that responsibility is shared between a number of agencies, particularly the police, councils and social landlords. The Government is committed to significant reform in dealing with crime and anti-social behaviour by putting victims at the heart of the response, including: (1) Agencies identifying vulnerable and repeat victims earlier, and responding at the first sign of trouble, through better logging of calls and managing of cases; (2) A simpler toolkit, with 19 powers reduced to just six, including an injunction which can be secured in a matter of hours not months, to nip behaviour in the bud; (3) Tough orders which can deal with anti-social behaviour if it escalates into criminality, which are flexible enough to deal with a range of yobbish behaviour including out of control dogs, public drunkenness, minimotos and others; (4) The community getting involved in tackling anti-social behaviour, for example through inputting into a Community Harm Statement to highlight to the court the impact of the behaviour on their daily lives; (5) Agencies held to account locally by directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners, and by victims through the Government's new Community Trigger.
