We strive to keep it that way by working with local people to tackle crime and of different data sources. The strategic assessment is then used to agree the course of action, or priorities, for the Partnership for a) the ways in which the responsible authorities and partners disorder and its root causes. The total number of crimes per 1,000 population in the Vale is 58.97, compared with 69.19 crimes per 1,000 in and in the county area might more effectively implement the 84.13 crimes per thousand in the Thames Valley Area.1 the coming year.
