Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) revealed it has teamed up with London School of Economics (LSE) to build a picture of “predicted demand” on policing in the 181,000 census output areas.
[...] “Predicting levels of demand in these areas, together with an analysis of the types of incidents that constitute that demand, will help the police to establish the capacity and capability necessary to prevent such incidents from happening, or respond effectively to them after they have occurred,” the report said.
