Summary
"The [Conference] moved beyond the demonstration of community projects to a more strategic view of crime prevention through sustainable social development. It was intended to raise awareness among decision-makers and the public about how crime prevention through social development promotes safe, healthy communities. Delegates did learn about specific projects, programs and tools which have had a positive impact on communities; however, they also had an opportunity to hear about public perceptions of crime and crime prevention, how to sustain crime prevention through social development initiatives, the role of key decision-makers in sustaining safe, healthy communities and model frameworks which encourage collaborative action to solve significant social problems. Participants were also invited to provide input regarding the future of the CACP’s coalition-building initiative and the proposed formulating of a National Framework for Action on Community Safety, Health and Well-being."--Conference objective.
