On 30 November 2007, the Home Office (HO) published a report (Home Office targets: Autumn performance report 2007) which provides an update on the progress made towards achieving 2004 Public Service Agreements (PSA) targets and those PSA targets set in 2002 that are still current. It covers the targets that the Home Office is solely responsible for delivering and those targets that they own jointly with other Departments such as the Ministry of Justice, and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Key achievements include falling crime in high crime areas, improvements in police performance, a drop in those making unfounded asylum claims and a reduction in the overall harm caused by drugs.
