MERSEYSIDE

Merseyside's Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) is helping the government to deliver its Serious Violence Strategy, (published in 2018), in response to national increases in knife crime, gun crime and homicide... After establishing the objectives that underpinned the work of Merseyside's Violence Reduction Partnership, we needed to take stock and consider how we would operate in the following three years. Our Response Strategy reflects these decisions, outlining a number of critical areas that constitute the VRP's action plan.
