Extractions: The National Strategy for Community Safety and Crime Prevention is a plan that will bring together many of the existing efforts to prevent crime in Canada. As a start the National Council will highlight issues of concern to communities and will help bring about greater consensus among stakeholders on the actions that are needed to achieve a true integration of efforts. In this regard, the Minister of Justice and the Solicitor General will ask the National Crime Prevention Council to consider and propose long-term strategic directions for Canada in the area of community safety and crime prevention. The key elements of the National Strategy for Community Safety and Crime Prevention are: - A National Focus - Partnerships and Coordination - Involving Communities - Enhancing Knowledge - Incorporating Crime Prevention in Legislation and Official Mandates - More efficient use of existing funding The key broad objectives of the National Strategy are: - to foster partnerships and collaboration between local communities, provincial and territorial governments, the federal government and non governmental organizations

Careers Resources for: - Select One - Citizens' Advisory Committees Ethnoculture Families of Offenders Media Volunteers News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OTTAWA, June 2, 1998 - Anne McLellan, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and Andy Scott, Solicitor General of Canada, announced today the details of a $32-million-a-year national crime prevention initiative aimed at developing community-based responses to crime, with particular emphasis on children and youth, women and Aboriginal people. "As I stressed three weeks ago, when I announced the government's youth justice renewal strategy, our justice system must do more to prevent the root causes of crime. There is too much emphasis on dealing with crimes already committed and not enough on preventing them in the first place. This program is a key component of the new direction for youth justice renewal," stated Minister McLellan. Said Minister Scott, "Strong partnerships, which include governments, police, community organ-izations, business, families and individuals are the key to crime prevention. Communities must engage all these partners to take action to prevent crime. When people do not act, problems are allowed to grow. The results show up in our prisons and the costs are staggering."

Lawlink NSW: Preventing Crime In The Community: Introduction
Nearly everybody is involved in community crime prevention in some way or It is easy to mistake their lack of involvement as being a lack of interest.
http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/cpd.nsf/pages/cpdbelong1

Extractions: We all belong to communities. Communities are made up of places and people where we feel we belong. We are all part of the New South Wales community because we live here and the things that happen here have an effect on us. Most of us will also feel that we belong to specific communities. These might be based on things like: the work that we do; the town or suburb where we live; the language we speak; our gender; our age; our sexuality; our religion; our hobbies and interests; our ethnic background; or our beliefs and values. Most people belong to a number of different communities. For example, a person may take great pride and be active in their professional community - such as accountancy; that same person may identify strongly with their cultural community - Italian Australians; they may also feel a strong sense of community with other people who have families; and they may also have strong ties to the area where they live - such as Western New South Wales. There may be different things that define our communities. However most communities have something in common - they give us a sense of acceptance, understanding, security and support.

http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/cpd.nsf/pages/jjdcrchp3

Extractions: All groups consulted were asked their views about the possibility of preventing crime. Many expressed the view that involvement in criminal activity was simply a part of growing up and that most young people would simply grow out of crime. While it was accepted that not all crime could be prevented, many felt that much could be done to reduce involvement in crime and minimise its impact on the community. Early developmental prevention Family and parenting skills Many of those the Division consulted emphasised the importance of preventative programs being implemented early in the lives of young people. The connection was frequently made between young people becoming involved in crime and their being victims of neglect or abuse. Some felt that, in view of this, greater effort should be put into supporting families and solving problems at home which may impact adversely on young people. Many participants, therefore, stressed the importance of resourcing parents in parenting skills, conflict resolution, anger management and communication skills in breaking the cycle of crime. It was suggested that the means by which this might be achieved were through enhancing funding to early childhood centres, ensuring that parenting skills workshops were run by child care and youth services, and instituting peer education programs for young parents. The importance of ensuring that multicultural issues were addressed in such programs was stressed.

Often, they provide the first opportunity for young people to interact with a law enforcement officer in a non-adversarial setting. SRO's become role models for young people; they also become trusted adults and teachers. In agencies with School Resource Officers, the number of crimes occurring in schools has dropped dramatically. (A resource guide and technical assistance are available). School Security Assessments The Crime Prevention Unit has adapted a form for conducting security assessments of schools. Part of this form is reproduced below to give you an idea of the topics covered.

http://www.iss.co.za/Pubs/PAPERS/33/Paper33.html

Extractions: Countering high levels of criminality in South Africa has become a central focus of government policy. Crime increased dramatically in the country from the mid-1980s, peaking in 1996, then stabilising at high levels. Increasingly, a key component of the government's policy focus on crime control is on preventive actions, aiming to undercut the causes and costs of lawlessness. In this context, crime prevention measures refer to those activities that are intended to reduce or prevent the occurrence of specific types of crime (or the fear thereof). This can be done either by altering the environment in which they occur, or by intervening more broadly to change the social or other conditions, which are thought to have causal significance with regard to crimes. Reducing crime also requires that much greater effort is directed towards providing support and advice for those who have already been victimised. This would not only assist the process of police investigations, but should also seek to ensure that re-victimisation does not occur. Preventing crime demands a process of analysis to determine the cause of specific types of criminal actions (and their costs for particular groups of victims), as well as the co-ordination of the resources and skills of a range of role-players to develop and implement appropriate interventions. These requirements mean that crime prevention programmes are most likely to be effective if developed in the localities where the problem occurs, rather than at national level. It requires a targeted approach that focuses various activities towards a single crime problem. Specifically, it also suggests that local players - and in particular local government - have a key role to play.
Implementing Crime Prevention And Reduction Is The Criminal
The possible crime prevention or reduction benefits of involvement in school,family and community are mitigated in an institutional setting.
http://www.la.utexas.edu/research/cccjr/research/policypapers/cdavisprev.htm

Extractions: Crime prevention and reduction programs and policies traditionally have been concentrated within the criminal justice system. Nevertheless, other public and private agencies have also been involved in crime fighting efforts. Some examples of these agencies are public schools, community associations, churches, social welfare agencies, private non-profit organizations and the family. A debate exists as to where the resources allocated to crime prevention and crime reduction, especially those raised through tax collection, should be most effectively concentrated. There is evidence to suggest, both from academic research and program evaluations, that prevention is most effective before Crime and Public Policy: Putting Theory to Work , have advocated that larger public policies are more effective than those targeted at individuals. Wider-based prevention strategies, such as lighting and safer architectural designs should be implemented rather than focusing on individuals. They make the point that public health measures such as immunizations, and building sewers have had more of an impact on morbidity than the efforts of individual physicians. However, whether crime prevention and reduction measures are targeted at individuals or on a wider, structural level, the Felson and Clarke analogy ignores one important fact. Unlike public health measures, which protect the populace from disease, crime prevention and reduction measures are designed to protect some members of society from victimization by other members of society. While we can consider disease a negative consequence for all members of society, we need to concede that crime is actively pursued by some members of society. Thus, in any program of crime reduction or prevention, whether designed to impact on the individual or societal level, the question must be asked: is the program to be targeted to a specific population, or to be universal in scope, and voluntary or coercive in practice?
