Louise Casey

Louise Casey is the head of the Crime and Communities Review, commissioned by the Prime Minister. The review, based in the Cabinet Office, will look at how front line agencies can better get their communities engaged in the fight against crime and in doing so, reduce crime, the fear of crime and raise community confidence.

Previously Louise was the Government’s co-ordinator for Respect, heading up the cross-government Respect Task Force based in the Home Office. The Task Force built on the drive to tackle anti-social behaviour by getting to its causes through programmes such as parenting and intervention and support for problematic families.

Louise was formerly the National Director of the Government’s Anti-social Behaviour Unit, also based in the Home Office.  Before that Louise led the successful strategy to reduce the number of people sleeping rough and established the Homelessness Directorate in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.  

Between 1992 and 1999, Louise was Deputy Director of Homelessness Charity Shelter and, prior to that, held a number of posts in the social welfare sector.
