Categorising by areas of focus
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…






Sad to say that among the words which feature but rarely across most plans are Victim(s) and justice nor “together” nor “partner”
