2020 Public Safety: Opportunities for Reform

The report, '2020 Public Safety: Opportunities for Reform', examines where we are and how to move forward on the issue of public safety. How do we commission? How do we sentence? How do we use information? The report suggests that the reform principles developed by the Commission on 2020 Public Services can form the basis of a strong and unifying narrative in this most contested of areas.

DrugScope Annual Conference 2010 - Facing the Future: Tackling drugs in the new decade
3 November 2010, London
We have entered a changed economic and political landscape. Cuts in public spending are underway with the expectation that services will need to do 'more for less'. The 'localism' agenda will likely see a shift in decision making from central government to local communities. The rise in the use of legal highs has led to calls for a review of the Misuse of Drugs Act and for faster responses to new and emerging drugs. How will wider economic and political changes impact on drug policy? Will we see more attention paid to tackling alcohol misuse? Will drug and alcohol crime and health policies draw closer together? What are the risks and potential opportunities for the drug sector? Download the preliminary agenda for this conference here.
