- alcohol
- organised crime and drugs
- youth
- mental health
why the change from drivers of crime to drivers of demand
drivers of demand acknowledges that a large portion of our response is to demand that isn’t necessarily criminal but frequently offers opportunity for crime prevention
what do you look for when targeting families as a driver of demand
- look to expose familial organised crime groups to prevent intergenerational cycles of harm
- look to lift the veil of secrecy around family harm and child abuse in order to stop it
- family harm may be the foot in door for police to be alerted to a wider spectrum of dysfunction causing harm within the family and other criminal and risky behaviours that affect multiple family members including children
what kind of backgrounds often give rise to “life course persistent” youth offenders
- severe deprivation involving violence, alcohol, drugs and absence of good role models
what percentage of youth offenders come from deprived backgrounds and what percentage of offences do they commit
17% of all youth offenders
40% of offences and majority of serious offending
What does the evidence suggest about oranga tamariki (the new ministry for children)
- evidence supports a trauma informed approach to vulnerable rangatahi that allows their voice to be heard when making decisions that affect them
- the approach allows us to address identified vulnerabilities long before they emerge in the youth justice system
what do you know about Alcohol as a driver of demand
- significantly contributes to all other drivers of demand
- we must fosters a responsible drinking culture
- we must capture alcohol related data to inform evidence based decision making
- we need to work in partnership with suppliers and providers to reduce harm caused through misuse of alcohol and support responsible consumption
- we need to be consistent in our messaging and approach to enforcement of legislation
what is police focus on roads as a driver of demand
- to reduce death and serious harm on the roads
- roads offers opportunities to disrupt other types of harm that requires all staff, not just road policing
why do we focus on professional investigation of organised crime
- to prevent organised criminal activity including drugs and firearms, i.d crime, human trafficking, people smuggling, cyber enabled crime, money laundering and fraud
how will police improve response to mental health as a driver of demand
- by working closely with partners and providers of health services
- to work closely with health providers to ensure that mental distress is responded to appropriately and their interaction with emergency responders does not aggravate their distress
