This priority focuses on repeat and
targeted victims, irrespective of the type of crime or incident to
which they are subjected as well as those suffering from the most
serious offences such as serious sexual offences, domestic abuse
and hate crime.
It also focuses on partnership working
which aims to prevent death and serious injury on Dorset’s
roads.
Within this priority there are
specific delivery plans for serious sexual offences, hate crime,
domestic abuse, alcohol related violent crime and where people are
killed or seriously injured on the roads.
What we will do
- Through Operation Protect we will combat the
‘binge-drinking’ culture, supporting those licensed premises that
act responsibly and targeting those that do not.
- With our partners we will ensure that
victims, especially of serious offences, are provided with
effective support such as through the Sexual Assault Referral
Centre (SARC) or through independent domestic or sexual
violence advisors.
- We will identify and target serial
perpetrators of domestic abuse and violence, supporting those
willing to change.
- We will provide the young members of
our community with information in ways that have been shown to
reduce the risks they face.
- We will establish a multi-agency
safeguarding hub (MASH) to enhance information sharing and risk
management.
- We will continue to support the
‘No excuse’ campaign combining education
and enforcement to ensure fewer people die or are seriously injured
on our roads.
What results are we seeking
to achieve?
- Fewer victims of serious crime in
Dorset.
- Fewer repeat victims especially of
domestic abuse.
- Fewer people killed or seriously
injured on our roads.
- More offenders stopping or reducing
their offending.
- Improved victim satisfaction.
