| Abstract: |
The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) requires the police, local authorities, NHS, and otherorganisations to share intelligence and collectively work to reduce violent crime. Thispaper aimed to explore opinions on linking police data with other agency data. Interviewswere undertaken with individuals from police forces in Wales, UK. Barriers to sharingdata with other organisations involve differences in the systems used to store police dataand uncertainties around what is allowed to be shared. Overcoming barriers would allowdata linkage across organisations leading to deeper insights into the causes of violence, andtherefore intelligence that supports crime prevention. |
