Results:
Between 1990 and 1992, burglary risks in the comparison cities rose by three per cent, In Safer Cities areas where there was no burglary action, risks showed a bigger increase, of 15 per cent. But where there was action, risks fell: by 10 per cent in low-action areas (under £1 of Safer Cities funds per household), 22 per cent in medium-action areas (£1 – £13), and by 43 per cent in high-action areas (over £13). The overall fall was 21 per cent.
