Abstract
This paper examines the potential for improving the effectiveness of the provision for controlling arson, through better collaboration between the various services involved, particularly fire, police, forensic and insurers. Although such collaboration is essential and can yield benefits, it is concluded, in the light of the substantial American initiatives in multi-agency responses, that this approach is vulnerable to failure, especially in the medium term. The alternative of an independent fire investigation and arson control agency is proposed, and it is suggested that this would address the weaknesses of the multi-agency approach.
