It makes the case for greatly increased investment in evidence-based programs to reduce the prevalence and severity of conduct problems in childhood. It shows that, in addition to improvement in the quality of life for many individuals and their families, the potential long-term benefits to society as a whole are enormous, particularly in terms of crime prevention.

Author: Holmes, Lucy Title: Missing People Information Sharing Protocol Westminster Pilot: Evaluation Report Summary: This report presents findings from a six month pilot of an information exchange protocol to improve the joined up response to missing vulnerable adults in the City of Westminster. The protocol allows the charity Missing People and partner organisations to share information to try to locate missing adults and to identify unidentified service users, where there are concerns for their mental wellbeing. The protocol functions by allowing information to be shared in two directions: 1. Requests to Trace vulnerable missing adults may be made by Missing People to one or more of the partners to the protocol where there are reasonable grounds to believe the person may have made contact and where there are concerns for their mental wellbeing. 2. Requests to Identify may be made by protocol partners to Missing people to assist identify or find vulnerable adults, where there are specific concerns about their mental health. The Prime Minister‟s Missing Persons Taskforce, convened in 2009, recommended that “Department of Health (DH) will work with partners to develop an approach to managing risks related to adults with mental illness, learning disability or dementia who go missing” (Home Office, 2010: 16). Whilst this project pre-dated the Missing Persons Taskforce, the development of this protocol marks an important step towards meeting this recommendation. Details: London: Missing People, 2011. 69p.

Author: London Councils Title: Anti-Social Behaviour and Mental Health Summary: Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a priority for many community safety partnerships in London. ASB is also one of the three priority areas of focus for the London Crime Reduction Board this year. Boroughs have consistently raised the point that a sizable proportion of their ASB cases have a mental health dimension. Preventing and tackling ASB, and supporting people with mental health needs are two important areas of work for local authorities and their partners. Reducing crime and improving community safety are critical to London local government's role in building and sustaining safe and prosperous communities. A key element of this is preventing and tackling ASB. London Councils conducted a survey of all heads of community safety in the 32 London local authorities and the City of London exploring the issues and challenges around mental health and ASB, finding out what practical responses are delivering results on the ground and listening to what the professionals feel they need to improve work in this area in the future. Seventeen boroughs responded, of which 15 completed the survey. Data from the 15 boroughs that returned survey responses are used in this report. Following a brief introduction to each section in this report, the relevant responses from the survey are presented. Examples of borough practice are then presented where available, followed by suggestions from borough heads of community safety for ways forward. The recommendations of this report are largely drawn from these suggestions. Details: London: London Councils, 2014. 32p.
