As part of the policing green paper "From the Neighbourhood to the National: Policing our Communities Together," the government has removed all top-down numerical targets on the police bar one - to improve public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.
The target is based upon a question within the British Crime Survey. As a supplement to this, police forces and authorities are expected to conduct local surveys to gauge the extent to which their local communities agree that:
"The police and local council are dealing with the anti social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area."
The published results are presented as the percentage of respondents agreeing that the police and local council are dealing with the anti social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area. The percentage is calculated by summing up the "Strongly Agree" and "Tend to Agree" categories and expressing this sum as the percentage of the total number of responses. (ie the sum of he six categories: "Strongly Agree", "Tend To Agree", "Neither Agree or Disagree", "Tend to Disagree", "Strongly Disagree" and "Don't Know").
The Authority considers the lessons learnt from all feedback from the public, whether through public meetings, surveys or complaints and compliments, and uses this information in partnership with Sussex Police to shape the delivery of policing across the County.
