Crime and Disorder Xxx 0000. The Act introduced measures to reduce crime and disorder, including a requirement to establish local crime partnerships around local authority boundaries to formulate and implement strategies for reducing crime and disorder in the local area. Section 115 of the Act established a power to disclose information, which is central to the Act’s partnership approach. This power is not a duty and therefore the requirements set out in the Human Rights Act, Common Law and the Data Protection Act must also be met. Under this Section the Police have a responsibility to disclose information for the prevention, detection and reduction of crime. This is extended to other organisations to disclose information to Police authorities, local authorities, probation committees, health authorities, or to persons acting on their behalf, for the purposes of this Act. However, there is no requirement to exchange information, rather permission to do so.

Section 17 is aimed at giving the vital work of crime and disorder reduction a focus across a wide range of local services that influence and impact upon community safety and putting it at the heart of local decision making. Section 17 is a key consideration for these agencies in their work in crime and disorder reduction partnerships, drug action teams, YOTs, children’s trusts and local safeguarding children boards.
