Abstract
Round 1 of the Reducing Burglary Initiative (RBI) was built upon a strong evidence base of operational research, which had identified types of measures that can be effective in reducing burglary in local areas. A key objective of the RBI was to find out what works best where. Sixty three Strategic Development Projects (SDPs) were funded by Round 1 of the RBI. These projects were encouraged to develop innovative burglary reduction strategies. As a result, a wide range of interventions was implemented in a variety of contexts making use of different principles.
This paper presents a summary of one of these SDPs where the main interventions implemented were:
- Installation of alley gates
- Improvements to fences
- Property marking
- Publicity campaign, through a newsletter.
