§ 49. Mr. MaclennanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Government's crime prevention measures.
§ Mr. John PattenThe Government's crime prevention measures are kept under constant review through the Home Office's research and development programme, and the results of particular evaluation exercises are regularly published and placed in the Library. In addition, all major elements of the crime prevention advertising campaign are subjected to market research for both development and monitoring purposes. Implementation of the recent inter-departmental circular "Crime Prevention—the success of the partnership approach" is being monitored by an independent working group of the Home Office standing conference on crime prevention.
