Violent Crime

Dial 999 if you have witnessed, or been a victim of, violent crime.

Violence in Haringey is decreasing: in 2007/08 British Crime Survey wounding and common assault fell by more than 7%. However, violent crime accounts for 20% of all British Crime Survey crimes and so still remains a priority in Haringey’s Community Safety Strategy for 2008-11. A range of partners (including the Police, Probation, Youth Offending Service, Victim Support and other community organisations) work together to prevent and reduce violence in Haringey. Over the next three years these partners will be focusing on the following areas:

• Exchanging information about ‘at risk’ young people
• Delivering a programme of research and relevant action about alcohol related violence
• Early intervention projects regarding weapons
