Reducing Vehicle Crime : Home Office: Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General

The Home Office is on track to meet its 199 target of reducing vehicle crime by 30 percent over 5 years. The Vehicle Crime Reduction Action Team, which brought together different organisations including the car industry, police academia, local and central government, set a strategy and took an active interest in its implementation. The initiatives covered areas such as improving vehicle security, safer car parks, improving policing practices, better regulation of the salvage industry, targeting of criminals and increasing the awareness of motorists. Despite the successes, the number of vehicle crimes still remains high (2.1 million thefts of or from vehicles in 2003-04) and other challenges need to be addressed to further reduce such crimes.Great Britain, National Audit Office Staff is the author of 'Reducing Vehicle Crime : Home Office: Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General', published 2005 under ISBN 9780102932041 and ISBN 0102932042.
