  crime, below both regional and national averages.

  their recorded burglaries being twice that of
  YNY.

Crime Recorded Robberies

• There has been no improvement in recorded
  robberies per 1000 of the population from 2001/2
  2004/5.
• There are a number of other Advancing Together
  indicators for which it is not possible to obtain
  data at sub-regional level.
• However in many instances there is other data and
  measures which are included in the report.

Good Governance and Civic Participation
19
Advancing Together Vision

• Yorkshire Humber will possess and portray the
  highest standards of governance in all sectors
  and at all levels, and the highest levels of
  civic participation in decision-making and
  community life.

• This vision is measured by the following
  indicators
• Overall participation in local community
• Percentage of businesses with a mission or value
  statement incorporating the concept of
  responsible business practice
