& CAA
“An Alternative Approach”
Karen Johnson
Context:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Long History of CC work
NI 1 + NI 2 plus local indicators
Place Survey Results disappointing
Wide Neighbourhood Variances
Kirkees 66% (bottom quartile) but variances down to
46%
Young 18-24 variances up to 38%
Local Indicator improved (ages)
CAA – Plans Robust Enough?
Outcomes, Outcomes, Outcomes…
Response:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Detailed Analysis – Ward \ Neighbourhood
Some correlation to deprivation
Reduction in all Areas
Age an Issue (18-24)
More Complex (? Correlation NI 1 & NI 2)
Follow up Research
Research:
•
•
•

•
Ideal Matrix (demographics, locations)
Not just worse areas
On street recruitment 57 residents
8 Focus Groups
NI 1 and NI 2 in more detail … but
What is desired state and how can we get
there?
NI 1 – What does it mean?
Intergenerational
differences
Ethnicity
How you
were
brought up
Socioeconomic
status
Length of
residency in
the area
NI 2 – What does it mean?
Take part in
local
activities
Length of
residency
Knowing people in
the local area
Culture
Where you
were
brought up
So what will help?
Events to bring
people together
More
education in
schools
Understanding of
about
other cultures
different
Activities for
young cultures
people
Use of sport
to bring
people
together
Conclusions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ethnicity is a factor but more complex
Perceived tensions \ unfairness an issue
High profile events have an impact
Sense of belonging means different things
Cultural Awareness and Education!
Provision for young people (again)
Transient population \ New arrivals
Drill down to specific areas
Sharpening Our Approach
•
•
•
•
Detailed plans in target areas
More focus on 18-25 year old
New Arrivals work
Re looking at cultural awareness (Members,
schools)
• Events locally not all central
• Reducing Inequalities
• Communications – crime, respect etc….
Impact and Outcomes….
• REIP Evaluations
• Monitoring specific interventions (simple)
• Follow up Place Survey (quantitative,
longitudinal)
• Front line workers group
• Community Reference Group
• Police Authority Survey
