Home Office
The Home Office leads a national effort to protect the public from terror, crime and anti-social behaviour. It secures our borders and welcomes legal migrants and visitors as well as safeguarding identity and citizenship. The Home Office helps build the security, justice and respect that enable people to prosper in a free and tolerant society.
To protect the public, the Home Office focuses on seven key objectives, to:
- Help people feel safer in their homes and local communities
support visible, responsive and accountable policing - Protect the public from terrorist attack
- Cut crime, especially violent, drug and alcohol-related crime
- Strengthen our borders, fast track asylum decisions, ensure and enforce compliance with our immigration laws and boost Britain's economy
- Safeguard people's identity and the privileges of citizenship
- Work with our partners to build an efficient, effective and proportionate criminal justice system.
