Current priorities
Reducing theft in a university and nearby neighbourhood is a key priority because it affects safety, confidence, and the overall student and community experience. Campuses are busy, open spaces that can attract opportunistic crime so tackling all types of theft helps create a safer, more welcoming environment and supports the university’s reputation. Shop theft is a major concern due to the number of local retailers serving students with losses impacting businesses and prices. Bicycle theft is also common as many students rely on cycling, and poorly secured bikes are easy targets. Addressing these issues through prevention and partnership working helps reduce crime, protect property, and strengthen the local community.
