Building on Progress: Security, crime and justice

This detailed policy document reveals the government’s proposals and ideas for confronting crime and criminals over the next 10 years.

The report looks at how new technology, powers, service structures and ways of fighting offending will keep pace with an ever changing society. It aims to ensure victims and communities feel more secure while justice is effectively and efficiently done and seen to be done.

Building on Progress: Security, Crime and Justice looks at three themes:

  • prevention of crime
  • detection and enforcement
  • reforming the criminal justice system

These themes focus on tackling offenders across the criminal justice system; from the police on the street, through to the courts, prison and probation systems.  

The Home Secretary also wrote a letter to all chief constables and chairs of police authorities regarding the report.
