Details
In 2023 to 2024, 10 police force areas were selected to pilot a hotspot patrol response which involved visible patrols in areas with high levels of ASB. The Home Office commissioned Ipsos UK to conduct an evaluation to explore the implementation and delivery of the pilot as well as the perceived impact.
The evaluation involved a mixed method case study approach and included interviews with leads in each area and 2 waves of a public perception survey in selected hotspots.
This evaluation was commissioned by the previous administration, and prior to 5 July 2024.
