Community safety

Southwark residents tell us the crime and the fear of crime is one of their main concerns. We are working in partnership with the police, fire service, victim support, and other agencies such as the Safer Southwark Partnership to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse.

We have put together some simple tips to help reduce your risk of becoming a victim of crime, including safety at home, personal safety, and safety on the street.

If you're concerned about racial violence, domestic violence or homophobic crime or anti-social behaviour, you will find some useful information and contacts.
