Community Safety Partnerships
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998, as amended by the Police Reform Act 2002, sets out statutory requirements for responsible authorities to work with other local agencies and organisations to develop and implement strategies to tackle crime and disorder and misuse of drugs in their area. These statutory partnerships are known as Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs). The responsible authorities - Hampshire Constabulary, together with the Police Authority, Fire and Rescue, Primary Care Trusts, Unitary and District Councils within its area and Hampshire County Council have established Partnerships to produce Crime and Disorder Reduction Strategies for each Unitary and District Council area.
The first three year strategies were agreed in 1999 and the current strategies were launched in 2005

Hampshire County Council has drawn together its responsibilities from each of those Strategies in which it is a Partner and expressed them through its own non-statutory Crime and Disorder Strategy. The Council has also published guidance as to how to take account of Crime and Disorder in its own Comprehensive Performance Assessments The County Council Strategy (Word version

Other areas of Hampshire County Council involvement
Under Section 17 of the Crime & Disorder Act, the County Council has a duty to ensure that it does everything it reasonably can to prevent crime and disorder in its area. That means that the Council needs to consider crime prevention in everything it does. Some people refer to this duty simply as ‘Section 17’.
