Community Safety Strategic Assessment
2011
The Crime and Disorder Regulations 2007 place a
statutory duty on Community Safety Partnerships to prepare an
annual Strategic Assessment. Commonly known as the SA, it provides
partners with an understanding of the levels and patterns of crime,
disorder and substance misuse in the county and local areas by
providing statistical analysis and information about crime, changes
and patterns over time and, where possible, explanations as to why
these changes have occurred.
The Strategic Assessment for 2011 gives a broad
picture of Community Safety in Cumbria, including crime and
disorder, rates of reoffending, substance misuse, road traffic
incidents and deliberate fires. It also gives an overview of the
main experiences and concerns of local residents and uses relevant
contextual information to help understand patterns and levels of
crime, disorder and substance misuse in the county.
For 2011, the SA is made up of a county and six
district summary reports, including one for South Lakeland. The
summaries draw on the information contained within a single
technical report and also include a Community Safety Instant
Atlas.

priorities will be set for 2012/13 and the CSP Partnership Plan
will be refreshed, coming into effect from April 2012.
