Croydon's experience in tackling crime hot spots has been heralded as a national example and chosen to feature on a government crime reduction website.

A mapping technique used by Croydon's Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership to help them target resources on the areas that need them most, features on the website as an example to other local authorities.

The Home Office crime reduction website www.crimereduction.gov.uk promoted by the Government as the premier on-line information resource for everyone involved in tackling crime has a section within the toolkit on hotspots and focus areas highlighting the Croydon experience in reducing crime in areas like the town centre and the north of the borough.
