Analysis of PCC candidates' priorities

The APCC conducted a thorough trawl of the websites and online statements of Police and Crime Commissioner candidates to provide a summary of their most commonly-cited areas of concern. We counted the number of times specific issues were mentioned and whilst retaining separate tallies for each mention, have grouped together similar issues for ease of reference.

The full analysis of candidates' most-cited concerns is here.

A 'wordle' (pictogram) of the results is also available here.

Summary of nominations:

Background: our research and analysis of candidates' own election addresses showed that of the total of 192 candidates running across 41 police areas;

• 99 (51.56%) are or have been elected politicians (councillors, MPs, MEPs, Assembly Members or a combination thereof)
• Over 50% have experience of working in the fields of policing or criminal justice
  39 (20.3%) are known to have served on a police authority
• 32 (16.6%) are known to have been employed by or served within the police service (predominantly former officers but also some Special Constables)
• 26 (13.5%) have experience of work within the criminal justice sector, but outside of the police service
• 16 (8.3%) are known to have served in the armed forces
• 16 (8.3%) are known to be, or have been a Magistrate
• 35 (18%) of candidates are women 

• Labour and the Conservatives candidates in every area (the Labour candidate in Northamptonshire withdrew after the relevant deadline so therefore remained on the ballot paper)
• 54 (28%) Independent candidates (34, or all but 7 areas have at least one Independent candidate; there are 6 running in Devon and Cornwall)
• 24 Liberal Democrat candidates
• 24 UKIP candidates
• 5 English Democrat candidates

• One Green Party candidate (Cleveland)
• One Justice and Anti-Corruption Party candidate (Hampshire)
• One British Freedom Party candidate (Bedfordshire)
