Course programme

The course includes the following topics:

The vulnerable localities index (VLI)

You'll be taken through a step-by-step approach to calculating the VLI, including a discussion of the merits of each indicator used in its calculation, and how the VLI can be best used to help identify priority neighbourhoods.

Using geodemographics for neighbourhood policing

Geodemographic lifestyle data has been popular in the marketing field for a number of years for helping to target advertising campaigns and profile customer populations.

In recent years this data has been linked with results from the British Crime Survey to provide another dimension to its use, which includes identifying community differences between fears, worries and perceptions of crime.

We'll explore the qualities of this type of data, how it can be analysed and mapped, and its use in supporting neighbourhood policing requirements.

Neighbourhood profiles

We'll discuss the contents that should go into a summary neighbourhood profile.
