Comparing PCCs’ first Police and Crime Plans: the West Midlands region

Following the same methodology for my first blog on “PCCs’ first Police and Crime Plans”, here’s the raw data for the four forces in the West Midlands policing regional grouping, all of whom have published a draft plan. Remaining forces to follow over the next few days…

West Midlands: 8298

Most popular words within the Draft Policing Plan

Categorising by areas of focus

Word count by APCC criteria

Relative weightings by force

What next?

I’ll continue to present the raw data from PCCs’ first Police and Crime Plans in more detail over the coming days and weeks, and will provide some analysis once data from all forces is presented here.

As mentioned in my earlier blogs on this: in true crowdsourcing tradition, I’d welcome feedback on the approach I’m following. I’d also welcome feedback on the material I’ve presented so far. Do therefore feel free to add a comment…
