  • South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit Information for Partners
    South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit article for partner websites and intranet The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit is based at Shepcote Lane in Sheffield and is working across South Yorkshire to prevent and reduce violence. In South Yorkshire, we are taking a public health approach to preventing and reducing violence. This means that we look at the causes of violence, working in partnership to stop violence before it starts, halt the progression of violence once it has already begun and provide ways out for people already entrenched in violent behaviour. The following animation explains the public health approach to violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZOEnCd6uiI&t=22s The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit partnership is led by Dr Alan Billings, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and consists of: • Office of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner • South Yorkshire Police • Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council • Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council • Sheffield City Council • Public Health England • Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group • Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group • Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group • Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group • National Probation Service • Community Rehabilitation Company • Department for Work and Pensions • Youth Offending Teams • Education sector representatives • Community, Faith and Voluntary sector representatives All partners are clear that community voices and ideas are central to preventing and reducing violence in South Yorkshire. We have voluntary and community sector representatives from across the four districts (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) working together and sitting on our Violence Reduction Executive Board. In addition to this, we want to ensure that we hear the voice of community members who are not often given the opportunity to be involved in processes from the very beginning.

  • Effects of Subsidising Bus Travel on the Occurrence of Road Traffic Casualties
    Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 1987, 41, 50-54 Effects of subsidising bus travel on the occurrence of road traffic casualties JONATHAN P NICHOLL, MICHAEL R FREEMAN, AND BRIAN T WILLIAMS From the Department ofCommunity Medicine, University ofSheffield Medical School, Beech Hill Road, Sheffield, S10 2RX SUMMARY Between 1975 and April 1986, public transport by bus in the metropolitan county of South Yorkshire, England, was increasingly subsidised. Trends in road traffic accident casualties between 1974 and 1983 in all the six provincial English metropolitan counties have been compared in order to examine the possible effect of this unique subsidy on the incidence of road traffic accident casualties. During that period the total number of casualties in South Yorkshire did not change significantly compared to the other metropolitan counties. However, the proportion of all casualties in South Yorkshire who were bus occupants did increase relative to other metropolitan counties, indicating either an increase in the amount of bus travel or a decrease in travel by other modes. There was a large increase in bus patronage in South Yorkshire relative to the other metropolitan counties, and the conclusion is that it is the transport policy in South Yorkshire which resulted in an actual increase in distances travelled by bus. Since bus is the safest form of road travel, it is concluded that the public transport subsidy in South Yorkshire has benefited the health of the local population by providing the social amenity of additional travel at the least additional health cost. At 1 April 1986, the six provincial metropolitan Table I Casualties to persons carried.
