Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) were formed in 1999 as a result of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. The Carlisle and Eden Partnerships merged in 2001 and formulated a joint strategy to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour in both districts, the first in the UK to take this joint approach.
