Local community safety partnerships in Dublin's northeast inner city are ineffective in meeting the needs on the ground. It would be better to scrape this model and bring back the Community policing forum that had an open door to the community and worked tirelessly to address issues that arose from the ground. This community-led approach is what is needed.
Since the LCSP was established, the streets have been much worse than they have ever been, with violence and drugs. Crime rates have increased, and children are being recruited as young as 8 years of age into criminality. We need proper community-led and community-based agencies.
