Appendix 7 2.1 How crime prevention business has been conducted to date 2.2 Progress on crime prevention goals 2.3 Major issues How Crime Prevention Business Has Been Conducted to Date Over the last two years, a comprehensive Crime Reduction Strategy has been developed. This Strategy widens the scope of the Crime Prevention Strategy[ ] to include early intervention, law enforcement and Department of Corrections activities, and emphasises inter-agency coordination and collaboration across the social sector, youth justice sector and criminal justice sector. The Crime Reduction Strategy identifies seven priority areas for targeted government action. The priority areas are family violence (including child abuse), other violence (including sexual violence), serious traffic offending, youth offending and reoffending, burglary, theft of and from cars, and organised crime. Within these areas, interventions are to be aimed at particular groups involved in, or affected by, crime as potential or actual offenders and potential or actual victims: Maori, Pacific peoples, 'at risk' families, and those affected by drugs, alcohol or gambling. The Strategy emphasises the need for a comprehensive partnership approach between central and local government, and local communities, to ensure crime is tackled effectively.
