Extractions: 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." This new investment, to be implemented in partnership with the provinces and territories, communities, and the private and non-profit sectors, will help communities deal with the underlying factors that lead children, young people and adults toward criminality. "The key to reducing Canadians' fear of crime and to increasing the confidence of Canadians in their justice system is to encourage community mobilization in the fight against crime. This grassroots-led initiative is all about giving Canadians the tools they need to prevent crime in their neighbourhoods," added Minister McLellan.

Extractions: The needs of our senior citizens vary widely, depending on the individual concerned . Many seniors lead highly active lifestyles, and some travel extensively and for prolonged periods of time. Still others, due to medical conditions or other factors, are highly dependent on friends and family. Obviously, it is difficult to provide one blanket solution for all crime prevention problems, and in the case of senior citizen's solutions to problems can be a challenge.
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.

Extractions: Table of Contents AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION: Neighborhood watch, Block watch, town watchwhatever the title, this initiative is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime, attend to home and personal security, address the safety of our children and the elderly and reduce fear and isolation. Civic involvement, collaborative problem-solving and mutual commitment have helped cities and neighborhoods reduce crime by significant numbers. In early 1972, the National Sheriffs' Association created a model program for todays neighborhood watch. At that time, the Chiefs were searching for ways to attack the increasing burglary rate across the country. It was recognized that communities able to secure the assistance of their residents in observing, recognizing and reporting suspicious or criminal activities were better able to keep the burglary rate down and reduce other crimes. Today, neighborhood watch is the largest single organized crime prevention project in the nation. We know that neighborhood watch forges strong bonds among residents. Watch groups create a sense of community and pride by forming a unified group of citizens dedicated to improving their neighborhood. Partnering with law enforcement, citizens become their eyes and ears. These groups also serve as an empowering outlet for victims of crime. It helps give victims a greater sense of controlensuring that what happened to them will be less likely to happen to others. A neighborhood watch program can also be a springboard for many other efforts to address the causes of crime, reduce crime and improve neighborhood conditions including youth recreation, child care, economic development, senior citizen activities, affordable housing and community beautification.
