Crime Against Business

Members of Chambers of Commerce across the UK have reported that most businesses are unaware of their local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership. The CDRPs aim to reduce business crime. As a result, we have lobbied the Government to provide more information on CDRPs and local support available to reduce business crime. In response BERR have produced the document 'Crime against business - what businesses need to know'.
