Regeneration

Minimising crime to help communities to thrive

Meeting your objectives

Regenerating physical environments and communities is an important role for national and local government today. It is an effective way of meeting future housing demands and ensuring sustainable neighbourhoods are formed.

Effective strategies for minimising crime and anti-social behaviour are a vital factor in enabling neighbourhoods to thrive, making them attractive to current and potential residents, business interests and other visitors.

Perpetuity can help you to ensure that your crime prevention strategy for any regeneration initiative is firmly based on objective evidence, and is informed by extensive knowledge and experience of all aspects of best practice in designing out crime.

Ways we can help

We have worked on a broad range of regeneration projects, assisting clients to assess what needs to be accomplished and to develop and implement strategies for achieving this. Our areas of expertise include:

Baseline audit – auditing crime and disorder problems at the very start, to provide clients with a sound evidence base and benchmark from which to develop strategies, and plan and design an environment
Strategy – tailoring our tried and tested templates to inform a community safety strategic plan including partner responsibilities, performance measures and specification criteria for specific development, large or small
Environment design – auditing plans, physically inspecting sites and reviewing crime data to give clients the best design and management advice for a development
Consultation – designing and implementing this fundamental part of regeneration programmes, using tools such as surveys and focus groups, and including exercises aimed at hard to reach groups to encourage local ownership
Evaluation – assessing performance so as to inform decision-making on desirable improvements, activity expansion and additional funding
