Following recommendations from the Criminal Justice Inspectorate (CJINI), this review has been undertaken on behalf of Safer Communities Directorate to provide an up-to-date understanding of community safety issues in Northern Ireland, to recognise the scale and scope of these issues, and highlight potential areas of focus for delivery moving forward. This will provide an evidence base towards the delivery of a new DoJ Community Safety Strategy which:
- aligns with the goals and strategies of the Criminal Justice System and partner organisations that contribute to community safety in Northern Ireland;
- is based on up-to-date best evidence; and
- reflects the views and needs of the local population.
