Prof. Paul A. Samuelson Professor of Economics MIT

Nobel Laureate Economics 1970 Even crime and punishment are susceptible to economic analysis. Does crime pay? If there were no police and courts and never any punishments or deterrents to crime more people would find themselves rewarded by illegal activities. On the other hand, if strong locks are employed private and public guards employed who maintain a vigilant watch, if apprehension is likely, if trial is swift and the jury and the judge can be presumed to be quite accurate in distinguishing between the truly guilty and the innocent, that part of crime which is undertaken in the rational hope of reward may be reduced in total amount.

We are an independent charity helping to find criminals and help solve crimes.

We have an anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, that people can call to pass on information about crime; alternatively via our website, using our Giving Information Form.

Tell us what you know, not who you are. Did you know...? Crimestoppers is a charity. We are independent of the police and the

government. You can call the phone number, 0800 555 111, 24 hours a day and 7 days a

week. Crimestoppers operates across the UK. The information you give us is passed onto the police in such a way that they

do not know who you are. The 0800 555 111 phone number has been helping to find criminals and

solve crime for 20 years. It's a system that works for everyone – except criminals.

Callers from abroad can reach us on 0044 1883 731 336.

History In 1985, PC Keith Blakelock was murdered during the riots at the

Broadwater Farm estate in London. Police appealed for information. Lord Ashcroft, a businessman, offered to provide the police with

money for a reward to encourage somebody to come forward with information. He set up Crimestoppers in conjunction with the Commisioner of Metropolitan Police in January 1988 and together with some business colleagues who were also concerned about the rise in violent crime, they funded the UK operation.

There are now 38 volunteer committees across the UK and a further increase will follow, as volunteer numbers grow sufficiently to set up these new, more locally focussed groups.

This is a concept of businesses establishing a partnership with the media and the police to help solve crimes.

Our vision We believe that people and their communities have the right to live

without crime and without the fear of crime. When crime does take place, we believe that anybody who knows

those responsible should go to the police. However, many people who want to take action are close to the criminal and fear retribution. Crimestoppers offers them the secure means for them to get that information to the police, making their families and communities safer.

Our values Trustworthy Effective and business-like Realistic Non-judgemental

Our Mission To provide a means to detect, reduce and prevent crime through

the provision of information about crimes and criminals to the law enforcement agencies from anonymous sources.

Our achievements We change peoples' lives every day by helping to make

communities safer across the UK. Whether it's our volunteers out in the field, tirelessly finding new

ways to promote the anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, or our links with partner organisations to create new campaigns to raise awareness about specific crimes.

Not to mention the number of people who actually call Crimestoppers anonymously every day on 0800 555 111, to tell us information they know about crime. Without them, the 6,205 people arrested and charged every year on average, because of information received by Crimestoppers, would still be unknown to the authorities.

Information we've received has led to all different kinds of crimes being solved, from million-pound drug trafficking operations to the fraudulent production of bank notes and building society cheques. A caller to Crimestoppers even helped to identify 4 armed robbers who shot a policeman.

This is the Remembrance day Poppy when all commonwealth countries pay homage to their soldiers on November 11 every

year at 11 A.M. Do we need a symbol something like this for our Nirbhayas and Children against whom grave crimes were committed? We owe

it to them because we failed them when they needed us the most.

THANK YOU.
