Title: Tackling Vehicle Crime: A Five Year Strategy
Date Published: 1999
Annotation: This document explains how Great Britain’s Vehicle Crime Reduction Action Team established in September 1990 plans to meet the government’s goal of a 30-percent reduction in vehicle crime for the period 1999 to 2004.
Abstract: The Action Team and task groups that developed the recommendations consisted of representatives of vehicle manufacturers and retailers, insurers, the salvage industry, parking lot owners and operators, consumers, the police, and government agencies. Recommended actions include improved security on new cars, including continuing mandatory installation of electronic immobilizers on new cars and encouragement of manufacturers to fit deadlocks and other security features on a wider range of models. Additional actions should include improved policing and community responses to target frequent offenders, crime hotspots, and the market for stolen goods; improved parking lot security; new procedures at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, and efforts to stop vehicles from being given the identify of other vehicles. The widespread fitting of electronic immobilizers on new and used cars will produce about half of the target reduction in vehicle crime. Tables, figures, and appended list of participants and 14-point action plan to reduce vehicle crime
