There continues to be a clear evolution in knowledge and practice about crime prevention. Increasing numbers of countries and cities around the world see safety and security for their citizens as essential for development, and for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. They are embedding prevention strategies into their legislation and administrative structures. This persistent rise in the number of national crime prevention strategies gives a clear signal of its centrality in public policy within the country, and its growing presence as a global guideline. The opening plenary “National crime prevention strategies” will present a series of national strategies and its developments, challenges and methods of implementation. It will also offer the space for debate on the importance of prevention strategies from various perspectives.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CRIME PREVENTION

In recent years, international organizations have become increasingly concerned about the effectiveness of criminal justice responses to high rates of crime, which can dramatically influence society’s perceptions of security and trust in the system. This link has drawn attention to the importance of legitimate and effective criminal justice institutions, the integrity and accountability of authorities, and the treatment of victims and offenders. Such conditions can directly affect the outcomes and success of crime prevention initiatives, whereby justice and prevention are inter-linked and mutually dependant. Many state and non-state actors (i.e. NGOs, etc.) have developed multi-sectoral approaches that integrate crime prevention and

the criminal justice system in innovative ways. The workshop on “Criminal justice and crime prevention” will explore 1 alternative practices aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of preventive capacities within the justice system.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND CRIME PREVENTION [Spanish translation available

In recent years, more and more companies have sought new ways to contribute to citizens’ wellbeing and quality of life. We are witnessing a growth in the engagement of the private sector in actions addressing social problems and ways of contributing to the development of communities, cities and countries. Safety has been a central focus of many public- private partnerships, suggesting a formal collaboration between public sector agencies (i.e. government), the civil society and the private sector, aimed at dealing with rising crime and violence in expanding urban areas worldwide. The private sector is in a unique position to contribute to crime prevention, and therefore the workshop “Public-private partnerships

and crime prevention” will provide the opportunity to highlight innovative partnerships from around the world, and to 2 debate the value and limitations of such participation. Central 2 Moderator : Fabrice Fussy, Head of Observatoire national de la délinquance dans les transports (ONDT), France

EVIDENCE AND POLICY MAKING

Evidence is crucial in assessing the progress of initiatives, monitoring budgets, evaluating effectiveness, and determining future activities. Research plays a significant role in the production of evidence through evaluation, and evidence-based research is an important part of building bridges with policy making. While the production of evidence is a growing part of project management, translating evidence into knowledge for the purposes of influencing policy and making it more accessible are ongoing challenges. Considering the importance of evidence for prevention, the workshop “Evidence and

policy making” will review several innovative ways of measuring crime and crime prevention, and will outline the

3 challenges involved from different contexts in terms of how to transform evidence into policy.

LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND SAFETY

One of the big gaps in crime prevention work historically is to properly interrogate the dependencies between local governance issues and the provision of local safety to communities, villages, towns and cities. This session will offer an opportunity to explore the way in which the design and management of human settlements is essential to the provision of safety. Discussion will explore the extent to which crime prevention should be seen as an objective when addressing basic services such as sanitation, water and electricity, access to education, health, livelihoods, reliable transport and to other

opportunities such as for play and family leisure, for spaces in which women, the elderly and other disadvantaged groups 4 such as the disabled, are safe and experience freedom of movement. Central 1

THE ROLE OF POLICING IN CRIME PREVENTION

Police services worldwide continue to be key actors in crime prevention. Since 1996, the role of the police in crime prevention has been a core area of work for ICPC, which has included its 7th Colloquium, various seminars, comparative research and international compendia. Prevention increasingly plays a role in policing practices as a means of implementing alternative strategies in dealing with changing crime rates. Some examples include providing a visible presence through community policing practices, building effective cross-sector partnerships, as well as shifting traditional policing structures by providing courses to officers. The workshop on “the role of policing in crime prevention” will explore how different police services have better responded to crime in terms of promoting safety as a means of strengthening

their prevention capacity.

CITIES, DEVELOPMENT AND ARMED VIOLENCE [Spanish translation available

The 21st Century is the ‘century of the city’ and half of the world’s population resides in urban areas. While urbanization has brought opportunities to dwellers, cities are feeling the weight to accommodate residents. The result in many cases has been weak provision of security, sprawling informal settlements, and heightened exposure and risk of armed violence. Attention towards urban armed violence is gaining momentum and initiatives are providing opportunities to advance dialogue and policy. Prevention as an approach is securing a place within national and international discussion and course

of action. The Colloquium provides a space to continue the work from the 2nd Ministerial Review Conference on the

6 Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development. This workshop will outline some prevention efforts at the city level which address urban armed violence, the impact on development, and the degree to which they integrate different sectors to reshape crime prevention. Central2
