The initiative, the first of its kind, will build on Merseyside Police's Clear, Hold, Build project
A charity which encourages people to report crime anonymously has set up a new initiative in the community where Olivia Pratt-Korbel was murdered.
This placed Merseyside in the top three areas of the country per population for giving reports to Crimestoppers. The initiative - which will follow Merseyside Police's Clear, Hold, Build work in the community - will see the charity carry out targeted social media activity and leaflet drops to engage with young people and increase reporting of crime.
Merseyside Police later told the ECHO the murder "crossed a line" and resulted in hardened criminals breaking the rules of the "no grass culture" mantra. Senior investigating officer, temporary Assistant Chief Constable Mark Kameen, said the senselessness of a nine-year-old being shot in her own home resulted in a huge amount of public information. The court heard more than 800 "intelligence logs" were received during the course of their inquiries.
