Transcript

00:00Clive Gunshall, Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire. At the moment I've been going

00:05around the prisons within Lancashire at the kind invitation of the

00:09governor's to see some of the great work that they are doing, particularly in

00:13terms of rehabilitation. It's really important to to meet with some of the

00:19prisoners, some of the offenders, to find out what triggered their behaviour to

00:25begin with, what work is going on to ensure that once they come back into

00:31society they don't become repeat offenders. My job is to make sure that

00:39Lancashire is as safe as possible. To do that we do need to work with offenders

00:47and with prisoners, have a look at how we can prevent them getting into the

00:53same circumstances. At the end of the day you know we want to ensure that

01:00Lancashire is as safe as possible, we have as few crime as possible and

01:05understanding the triggers that cause the crime in the first place is really

01:11important. So I've invested in the Violence Reduction Network, they're doing

01:17some great work with tackling offending behaviour and through that strength that

01:24we hope to keep Lancashire safe.
