| Purpose : |
The project's goal is to reduce crime and increase the sense of security by applying the crime prevention model advocated by Quebec's Departmental Crime Prevention Policy. Local prevention strategies under municipal responsibility have already been developed in various countries like France and Belgium.
The project will experiment with such an approach in Quebec. This approach is advocated by the Departmental Crime Prevention Policy, released in November 2001. According to predetermined criteria (e.g. crime rate, socio-economic needs, etc.) the Quebec Ministère de la Sécurité publique (MSP) intends to stimulate the development of local strategies to reduce crime and increase the sense of security.
