The materials in this section are ones that we thought took
a fresh approach to Community Policing and Crime Prevention.
They don’t all approach “community” the
same way, but their solutions are original and inspiring.
Developing Crime Prevention Strategies
in Aboriginal Communities (Canada)
This report
from the Department of the Solicitor General describes how
Problem Oriented
Policing can be tailored to aboriginal communities. Many aboriginal
communities suffer from high crime rates and have found that
traditional policing methods have simply not worked. Using
alternative crime reduction techniques such as Problem Oriented
Policing has frequently been helpful, and often solves two
problems at once: the crime itself, and the poverty or disenfranchisement
that was its root.
Business Action Program on Crime
Prevention (Canada)
The Business
Action Program on Crime Prevention (BAPCP) aims to involve
private businesses in crime prevention programs. Engaging
businesses in crime prevention is a good way of engaging them
in the community generally. The program brings together several
business associations and funds community crime prevention
programs. It carries out its funding at the national level
from donations from the member associations, but also works
with individual businesses at the local level to foster greater
community involvement. BAPCP is lead by the Business Network
on Crime Prevention (BNCP).
