YOU ARE NOT ON YOUR OWN


DOMESTIC ABUSE

Domestic Abuse will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime, this
leads to, on average 2 women being murdered each week (and 30 men per year),
this accounts for approximately 16% of all violent crime and has more repeat
victims than any other crime (on average, there would have been 35 assaults
before a victim calls the police).

If you are experiencing or witnessing domestic abuse (or you know a friend,
family member or work colleague who may be experiencing it), please don’t suffer
in silence… support is available to help you:

Crime and the fear of crime are of high concern to most residents. Living in a
place where you feel safe is an important part of having a good quality of life.
The impact of crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) on victims and communities
can be greater in rural areas where there are fewer local amenities and support
services and people can feel more isolated and vulnerable.

Residents who live in rural areas often consider that they have a lack of Police
presence. Crime reported in rural areas tends to be lower, however the impact on
residents can be worse due to a number of factors, living remotely adding to a
sense of isolation being a key one. Crime types are becoming more diverse, and
whilst crimes such as domestic abuse, cyber-crime and sexual offences take place
in both rural and urban communities, there are crimes such as livestock theft
and poaching that are specific to rural communities.

The NRCN (National Rural Crime Network) Rural Crime Survey of 2018, highlighted
that some of the most common concerns are not solely policing matters, but
include issues like fly-tipping and speeding.

Crime Prevention is about the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a
crime risk, and the initiation of action to remove or reduce it. It is an active
approach utilising public awareness and preventive measures to reduce crime. We
all have a role to play in making our communities safer, friendlier and more
liveable.

To coincide with Rural Crime Week of Action, 6th – 13th October 2019, Colchester
Borough Council in collaboration with the Safer Colchester Partnership are
launching their Safer Rural Communities Toolkit and Safer Rural Communities
Fund.

The toolkit provides ideas, information and resources to help you make your
neighbourhood a better place to live. It will help you identify what the
problems are, how you can go about addressing them, preventative measures and
some possible funding sources.

The Safer Rural Communities Fund supports the toolkit and is available to assist
communities in the delivery of projects and initiatives that address community
safety. The fund invites applications from not for profit groups such as:
Registered voluntary and charitable organisations, community groups, tenants and
resident groups, faith groups, housing associations, sports organisations and
Parish and Town councils within the following rural communities:

 * Birch & Winstree
 * Dedham & Langham
 * East Donyland
 * Fordham & Stour
 * Great Tey
 * Pyefleet
 * Tiptree
 * West Bergholt & Eight Ash Green
 * West Mersea
 * Wivenhoe
