High
Crime: High Disorder Neighbourhoods. Spatial Analysis and Geodemographics In late 2004 the Audit Commission embarked on a two year study programme, tentatively entitled “High Crime: High Disorder Neighbourhoods”. The programme proposed: “to conduct a study of how agencies and local communities can work together to make people living in different types of high crime and/or high disorder neighbourhoods be and feel safer. Failure to tackle the crimes and disorders that matter most to local people can impact on public confidence and we will look at what is being done to promote reassurance. At the same time, the Commission is looking at targets and indicators within the Criminal Justice System (CJS), to determine what improvements might be made. Looking at the initiatives in this area, we aim to identify how well resources are used, to what effect and then we will draw lessons from them. We will also look at the obstacles to better joined up working and identify policy and practical changes which could be made to achieve better outcomes.”
The
full report can be downloaded here,
the accompanying technical annex accessed here,
and the Audit Commission final report entitled “Neighbourhood crime
and anti-social behaviour” accessed here. |

Aylesbury
NDC Community Health Profile This
short consultancy project engaged Southwark PCT and the Centre for Advanced
Spatial Analysis (CASA) at the University College London (UCL). I was
commissioned to produce a report presenting the findings of the Community
Health Profile (CHP) for the Aylesbury New Deal for Communities (NDC)
Partnership. The partnership is aiming to regenerate the Aylesbury Estate
situated in Southwark, south London, with some of the £56.2 million
of NDC funds awarded to the partnership in 1999. |

Fawcett Fellowship: GIS Tutorials Endowed by his family, the UCL department of Geography hosts a number of fellowships each year in memory Professor C.B. Fawcett. The Fellowships are designed to provide opportunities for UK based teachers and other professional geographers to study at UCL for one term of an academic year. More information about the Fawcett Fellowship programme can be found here. In the autumn term of 2005 I was employed to design and conduct weekly GIS tutorials for a visiting fellow. The object of the tutorials, in-line with the goals of fellowship programme was to introduce the fellow to aspects of modern geography, providing them with new skills to explore new fields of teaching and investigation, thus allowing the fellow to return to their permanent jobs refreshed and ready to stimulate others. |
