In 2022, the Humber Violence Prevention Partnership joined 18 other Violence Reduction Units across England and Wales. The Home Office provided a total of £3.5m to develop and operate the partnership over an initial three-year period. Our aims include identifying the causes of violent crime and leading the local response to preventing and reducing violence through targeted interventions.
The partnership is supported by a core team hosted by the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner's office, plus a new violence reduction coordinator role based in each of the four local authority areas. It aims to target resources where they will have the greatest effect in reducing violence in the future, looking at long-term and short-term solutions to prevention.
