Title: Building Safer Communities: An Evaluation of the Enhanced Policing Plan in the Shettleston, Ballieston and Greater Easterhouse Area of Glasgow
Summary: This research was commissioned by Strathclyde Police to evaluate the Enhanced Policing Plan (EPP) in the Shettleston, Ballieston and Greater Easterhouse area of Glasgow. This area has historically been characterized by the endemic problem of violence and gang activity. The EPP is an innovative approach to policing aimed at: reducing crime, gang and anti-social behaviour and territorialism; creating a safer environment; building public confidence; and improving community opportunities for people so that they are less likely to commit offences or re-offend. This research accordingly aimed to establish: baseline information on crime levels before and after the EPP; the views of the police, community planning partners, local small businesses, youth workers and young people about what it is like living in the East End of Glasgow; the effect gang and violent behaviour has had/is having on their neighbourhood; the community views and perceptions of the effectiveness of the EPP in tackling these behaviors, and in increasing public reassurance within the area; and what youths need to encourage them to make attitudinal changes in making life choices.
