EUCPN webinar: Crime prevention through community engagement

This webinar examines community engagement initiatives within the field of public safety. These include initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life in a particular neighbourhood as well as to reduce anti-social behaviour or lack of safety through higher levels of social cohesion. While such activities can only be encouraged, their effects are usually not as extensive as initiatives that are related to public safety. Therefore, this webinar (and related toolbox) offers an overview of the various types of citizen engagement initiatives that can be created as well as the related challenges that can emerge when impeding them. The aim is to inform and support policy-makers as well as other practitioners that work with citizen volunteers on the common pitfalls.
