Title: Guidance for Local Criminal Justice Boards (LCJBs)
and Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) - Developing
Closer Working
Author: The Home Office
Number of pages: 8
Date Published: November 2004
Summary
Members of both CDRPs and LCJBs have expressed for some time concern and uncertainty about the relationship between the two sets of bodies. In particular, there has been uncertainty about accountabilities, structures and responsibilities. As both the Boards and CDRPs develop and as the issues they are responsible for managing become more complex it is all the more important to clarify how the two should interact.
The key mechanism for resolving these issues will be the Crime and Disorder Act Review announced in the Police Reform White Paper 'Building Communities, Beating Crime' on 9 November 2004. The conclusions of the review which will be published by the end of February will form the basis for any changes to the respective roles of CDRPs and LCJBs and to comprehensive, guidance on how the LCJBs and CDRPS should work together in the new environment.
In the interim, the Home Office have developed this guidance which provides basic information on roles and responsibilities, closer working and good practice case studies for CDRPs and LCJBs to develop closer links:
