Summary
The first section of the report will provide a definition of crime prevention and briefly discuss how programs should be planned and implemented. The second section will provide an analysis of what works in crime prevention. Very little evaluation has been done concerning crime prevention in an Aboriginal context, so I will review current knowledge of what works in the broader society as many of the lessons learned will also apply to Aboriginal communities. The third section will describe some of the more promising crime prevention programs that are being used within Aboriginal communities. It will also look at some of the issues involved in developing effective programs in Manitoba and make some recommendations for the Commission.
