Hello All, Well done on the award - what method was used to demonstrate social impact?

Hi Jo,
ReplyDeleteCASAC operates one of the largest domestic target hardening initiatives in the country, with over 55,000 properties benefiting from improved security measures fitted by our Safety Engineers. The level of reduction in burglary equates to a cost saving of over £21 million in the past three years.
Safer Leeds analysis of burglaries has shown that the repeat burglary rate for properties target hardened is 2%, which is very favourable when compared to repeat burglary rates in non target hardened properties of 8%. Less than 0.01% of repeat burglaries have breached the security measures fitted by CASAC Burglary Reduction. This shows that target hardening significantly reduces chances of being a victim of burglary.
The average cost of target hardening is £150, compared to the average cost of a burglary which is £1800.
Best Wishes,
CASAC
