Printable Version The NCPS - sponsored in partnership between the Department of Justice and the Portfolio of the Solicitor General Canada - focuses on educating and supporting communities in their efforts to develop and implement effective ways to reduce local crime and victimization. The NCPS' primary focus is on crime prevention through social development (CPSD), an approach that recognizes the complex social, economic and cultural processes that contribute to crime and victimization by working with communities to identify and address the root causes of crime. For more information on this initiative, visit web site: http://www.prevention.gc.ca/index.html While the Department of Justice has the lead in implementing the NCPS, the Portfolio of the Solicitor General of Canada has a national role. Portfolio of the Solicitor General of Canada: national leadership in crime prevention initiatives through the Crime Prevention and the Public Safety Initiative (CPPSI), with a range of activities to support policing and correctional agencies in addressing the root causes of crime (Policing and Crime Prevention; First Nations Policing and Crime Prevention; and Aboriginal Community Corrections and Crime Prevention).

Extractions: YOUTH AGAINST CRIME Citizen Participation Since the euphoria of the first democratic elections in 1994, the promotion of reconciliation and nation building through the adoption of the new constitution is being overshadowed by the high rate of violent crime and the breakdown of law and order in South Africa. This has resulted in law abiding citizens taking matters into their own hands. Can we marry the concerns of civil society in a creative and empowering partnership with the forces of Safety and Security? Crises are often good opportunities initiatives such as Youth Against Crime (YAC) to make a difference. ANTHONY WALDHAUSEN, YAC Chairperson outlines this example of citizen participation YAC was initiated in January 1995 by a group of individuals who were personally affected by incidents of crime. They realised that there was a great need to address the issue of crime at the level of youth. After discussions with various youth organisations, non-government organisations and government departments, a Youth Against Crime Steering Committee was formed to organise a Youth Against Crime workshop. The most significant result of the YAC workshop, was the establishment of a Youth Against Crime Committee. The YACC was mandated to take the message of a crime free society and the role youth can play in establishing such a society, to the level of local communities. Since then, YAC has made many inroads and has become the project of the KwaZulu Natal Youth Council, a provincial formation of major youth organisations which was established in 1997 at the KwaZulu Natal Youth Indaba.

Extractions: Backgrounder The National Crime Prevention Strategy at Work in Labrador Communities The National Crime Prevention Strategy The National Crime Prevention Strategy was launched in June 1998 to engage Canadians in developing community-based approaches to address problems of crime and victimization, particularly as they affect children and youth, Aboriginal people and communities, and the personal security of women and girls. Through the National Strategy , the Government of Canada is working with other levels of government, community groups and organizations, and other key partners across Canada to develop programs and partnerships to create and sustain safer communities. Today, the National Crime Prevention Strategy is announcing funding support for 13 crime prevention projects in Labrador communities, representing a total investment of over $275,000. Mobilizing Communities to Prevent Crime The Community Mobilization Program (CMP) helps communities develop comprehensive, sustainable, locally relevant approaches to crime prevention and undertake a range of activities to involve people in understanding and addressing the root causes of crime. The Government of Canada and the provinces and territories jointly manage this program, and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is our local partner. The following projects are being supported under the CMP: The Community Justice Forum Committee received $31,260 for

During late 1997 some 40000 persons were surveyed from throughout Queensland (Australia) on experiences and attitudes towards crime and crime prevention. For the first time, respondents were questioned on their "willingness" to be active participants in crime prevention initiatives. The outcomes are challenging to government administrators who believe that increased and/or harsher sentences are the public response to crime.

Extractions: POLICY STATEMENT ON COMMUNITY SAFETY AND CRIME PREVENTION A distinguishing feature of the Canadian identity is its pride in its safe communities. Safe communities provide for a better quality of life, and enhanced opportunities for economic development, investment and tourism. Canada spends close to $10 billion annually on the justice system. The federal government estimates an additional $46 billion a year on the actual costs of crime including private security insurance and impacts on victims. The cost of crime is more than dollars. People suffer personal loss, injury, and trauma from crime. 1. CRIME AND FEAR Despite declines in the reported crime rate over the last decade, fear of crime continues to be a serious problem, especially for women and the elderly. According to Statistics Canadas crime statistics for 2001, Canadas crime rate increased slightly by 1% in 2001 after a decade of steady decline (by 22%). The slight increase was attributed to the surge in car thefts and minor crimes such as bail violations. According to the Crime Statistics Report: The rate of violent crime increased by 1% in 2001 from 2000, the second annual increase after seven years of decline.

Extractions: Balancing Punishment and Prevention in the 21th Century Testimony of James Alan Fox, Ph.D. The Lipman Family Professor of Criminal Justice Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts House of Representatives Subcommittee on Crime Oversight Hearing on PREVENTING AND FIGHTING CRIME: WHAT WORKS? October 2, 2000 Thank you for the opportunity to address this subcommittee in regard to strategies for controlling crime in America. I say controlling crimerather than reducing crime in recognition that we now enjoy a period of relatively low crime levels. For example, the U.S. homicide rate, after falling throughout the 1990s, is as low now as it has been since the 1960s. But all good things must end, and already many American citiesBoston, Dallas, New York, Los Angelesare witnessing increases in local crime levels, including homicide. To some extent this may represent a criminal justice limbo stick, and we cant dip much lower. The most reasonable goal now is to work at keeping crime levels low rather than setting up unrealistic expectations for further decline. Should we succeed in reducing crime levels further, all the better. Many observers have attributed the tumbling crime rates largely to increased levels of incarceration. Yet the academic research literature is not so clear in assigning cause and effect. Indeed, prison populations were also expanding during the 1980s when levels of violence soared through the roof.

The seven counties selected for funding are Butte, Mendocino, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Stanislaus. The projects are funded by grants provided by the three participating departments providing a total of $5 million annually. Counties are demonstrating an innovative system of coordinated and comprehensive services for youth engaged in, or at high risk of, committing juvenile crime. The model is based on youth development principles of supports, opportunities, and an array of developmentally appropriate services for youth. These include mental health and substance abuse treatment; tutoring and after-school activities; job development and employment; mentoring; problem solving and skill building; and community involvement. Counties faced implementation barriers that included a program redesign due to a shift in state funding; lengthy board of supervisors' approval, county contracting, and hiring processes; and duplication of effort and differing philosophies among agencies and systems. This resulted in late start-up for some of the counties, but now all demonstration projects are well underway.
