Purpose There has been a widespread move in England’s city centres to a business crime reduction partnership (BCRP) model that welcomes businesses from all commercial sectors and that operate during day time and night time trading hours, and that seeks to tackle a broad range of crimes and associated behaviours. The purpose of this paper is to consider whether this new holistic approach offers benefits that narrower models do not. Design/methodology/approach This study draws upon data from a multi-year examination of the Gloucester City Safe BCRP, including quantitative analysis of 4,523 offences recorded by the partnership and qualitative analysis of 149 interviews with its members. Findings In Gloucester there was a small minority of offenders who commit offences against more than one type of business, who offend during both the day time and night time trading hours and who commit more than one type of offence. There is value, therefore, in partnerships bringing together businesses from different commercial sectors and that operate in the day and night time economies to coordinate their efforts to tackle such activity. Practical implications Sharing information among partnership members via e-mail and secure web-based platforms helps raise awareness concerning offenders and the offences that they commit which in turn can be used to prevent offences from occurring. Social implications This inclusive holistic BCRP model can lead to an increased sense of community cohesion for its members arising from the collective effort of multiple types of businesses. Originality/value The authors are not aware of other studies that have considered these issues.

减少商业犯罪的伙伴关系：研究整体方法

目的在英格兰市中心，人们已经广泛采用减少商业犯罪合作伙伴关系（BCRP）模式，该模式欢迎各商业领域的企业，并且在白天和黑夜的交易时间营业，并致力于解决各种犯罪问题。和相关的行为。本文的目的是考虑这种新的整体方法是否具有较窄模型无法提供的好处。设计/方法/方法这项研究借鉴了格洛斯特市安全BCRP的多年检查数据，包括对合作伙伴关系记录的4,523起违法行为进行定量分析，以及对其成员进行的149次访谈的定性分析。调查结果在格洛斯特（Gloucester），只有极少数的犯罪者对一种以上的业务进行犯罪，他们在白天和晚上的交易时间都冒犯了，并且犯了不只一种罪行。因此，建立伙伴关系是有价值的，这种伙伴关系将来自不同商业部门的企业聚集在一起，这些企业在白天和晚上的经济中运作，以协调他们为应对这种活动而做出的努力。实际意义伙伴关系成员之间通过电子邮件和安全的基于Web的平台共享信息有助于提高对犯罪者及其犯罪的认识，进而可以防止犯罪发生。社会影响这种包容性的整体BCRP模型可导致由于多种类型企业的共同努力而为其成员带来的社区凝聚力增强。
