A SURVEY has shown an increase in public confidence in the administration of law and order on Teesside.
The figures were issued by the Cleveland Criminal Justice Board as part of the British Crime Survey.
The survey showed that in the year to September 2004 37 per cent of people felt the agencies were effective in fighting crime, compared with 26 per cent in the period from October to March 2003.
Thirty-four per cent felt the needs of victims were properly met, compared with 28 per cent previously while those who felt that cases were dealt with promptly and efficiently rose from 34 to 39 per cent.
Confidence in bringing offenders to justice rose from 33 per cent to 36 per cent.
