3 In accordance with Section 32A of the Public Finance Act 1989, I submit the following report on the outputs provided under non-departmental output class Crime Prevention and Community Safety Programmes for the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June Belinda Clark Chief Executive and Secretary for Justice 1

4 Non-departmental Output Class Crime Prevention and Community Safety Programmes Statement of Service Performance Description This output class covers co-ordinating and delivering a range of crime prevention initiatives and programmes in partnership with local communities. The programmes are contracted by the Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) within the Ministry of Justice (the Ministry) and these services are purchased from territorial authorities and other selected service providers. This non-departmental output class contributes to the shared justice sector outcome of Safer Communities. Funding is provided to territorial authorities on criteria determined by their crime prevention needs, including the size of population and crime rates. Metropolitan and provincial city councils are funded directly on the basis of a crime prevention plan designed to meet local needs. Smaller and rural territorial authorities are funded on the basis of approved crime prevention projects. The Ministry also has crime prevention partnership agreements in place with four iwi and is implementing a strategy for engaging with Pacific communities on crime prevention. During 2004/05, the Ministry also continued to fund specific crime reduction pilot projects and programmes directly through individual contracts with territorial authorities, iwi, Pacific peoples and Non Government Organisations. These crime reduction pilot projects and programmes were designed to reduce the incidence and impact of crime, in the seven key goal areas of the Government s Crime Reduction Strategy: 1 family violence and child abuse 2 other violence and sexual violence 3 serious traffic offending 4 youth offending and re-offending 5 burglary 6 theft of and from cars 7 organised crime. 2 These crime reduction pilot projects and programmes were particularly targeted to high need and at risk groups comprising: Maori Pacific peoples 'at risk' families those affected by drugs, alcohol or gambling.

5 New funding was received in 2004/05 for the Restorative Justice Practice Improvement Project. This project aims to raise practice standards in accordance with the principles of best practice for restorative justice processes in criminal cases. The funding targets potential, new and current restorative justice providers and encompasses: regional workshops to inform and educate providers about the principles of best practice funding to assist providers to make specific improvements to meet the requirements of the principles of best practice. Performance Measures Quantity Quality Output and performance measures 2004/05 Projection Contract management services are provided to support partnership arrangements with all territorial authorities with whom the CPU has an ongoing relationship Contract management services are provided to support partnership arrangements with iwi with whom the CPU has an ongoing relationship Contract management services are provided to support partnership arrangements with Pacific communities in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch Contract management services are provided to support projects that are negotiated directly with community providers Number of pieces of substantive written advice or information on crime prevention provided to local authorities or local communities Output and performance measures 2004/05 Projection Contracts meet the Ministry and Treasury guidelines for contracting with non-government organisations Written advice provided to territorial authorities will meet the Ministry s quality criteria 2004/05 Actual /05 Actual 100% 100% 100% 100% 1 The 2004/05 Statement of Intent noted that the contracts were under review. As a result of that review, the actual number of contracted service providers was reduced to 46 based on the number of applications received from the territorial authorities and provisional acceptances of the proposals. One territorial authority that had its proposal initially declined subsequently entered into a contract with the Ministry. In the 2005/06 Statement of Intent, the projection range has been set at Delays were experienced in bringing the outstanding crime prevention plan up to an acceptable standard. Negotiations continue with the remaining iwi authority. 3 The forecast number proved to be too low. Contracts that were not in the original forecast have also been signed with service providers to support the Safer Communities Action Plan to Reduce Community Violence and Sexual Violence. 4 This number represents letters of advice sent to the 62 territorial and iwi authorities about changes the Ministry intended to make to future contracts as a result of the Ministry's review of the Safer Community Council Network. 3

6 Timeliness Output and performance measures 2004/05 Projection Contract offers made at least three months before previous contracts expire Appropriate advice and support will be provided and any other required action is taken within three months where issues are identified in regard to performance against contract 2004/05 Actual 100% 100% 100% 100% Cost The appropriation for Crime Prevention and Community Safety programmes for the 2004/05 year was $6.192 million. Actual expenditure for the year ending 30 June 2005 was $5.272 million. The 2003/04 appropriation was $5.912 million and the 2003/04 actual expenditure was $5.654 million. From 2004/05, a number of relationships with territorial authorities are funded on a specific project basis, rather than via a crime prevention plan. For this reason, the total for Partnerships has decreased since 2003/04, while the total for Projects has increased.

This funding arrangement reduces territotial authority compliance costs, while increasing their project certainty. 5
