Digby Ram leads important partnership
Ram’s background in helping create, develop and manage a number of successful national partnership projects, including Banknote Watch, Raid-control™ and Focus on Robbery™, made him the natural choice to lead this important section of the Crime Solutions 2006 conference. During his presentation Ram emphasised the importance of the security industry working closely with the police and academia in identifying solutions to combat crime in general and, in particular, violent criminality that devastates peoples lives. Ram said: “It is vital that the industry plays its part in developing policies to tackle the big criminal issues. Working in true partnership with law enforcement and academia in creating new and innovative measures to reduce violent crime is a goal we should all be striving to achieve.” The partnership theme was continued with a case study from Alan Simpson of Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council on the work of the Bolton Industrial Estate Partnership, David Bowker of Blackpool’s EMPRISE programme in providing employment opportunities for ex-offenders and those who have been socially excluded, with closing remarks from Chief Superintendent Paul Forrester QPM, a veteran of Merseyside Police with over forty-one years policing experience.Crime Solutions is a knowledge exchange initiative based at UCLan, with partners throughout the country. It aims to find practical solutions to crime through the development and support of anti-crime measures in the areas of detection, investigation, prevention, knowledge and understanding. In addition to the partnership seminar, the conference brought together a wide range of organisations to explore the latest cutting edge research and initiatives, focusing on the identification of offenders, fraud and the social dynamics of crime. IBP academic partner, the Institute of Criminal Justice Studies (ICJS), based at the University of Portsmouth, was also present and Dr Karen Shalev, lecturer at ICJS, discussed the strategies property offenders use in their spatial decision-making when committing burglaries.
