Home Office written question – answered on 9th November 2015.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government to what extent the level of recorded crime in a police force’s area affects the amount of funding allocated under the proposed new formula for funding of police forces.
The proposed police funding model is based on a set of objective indicators that correlate strongly with long term patterns of crime.
As we set out in our consultation on a proposed new funding model, we believe it is not appropriate to directly base force level allocations on crime statistics as these are directly influenced by police activity.
