Over five days, a strong consensus emerged that the Institute is viable, and there was also a great interest expressed in its continuation. The curriculum is currently being developed, drawing on the outcomes of the pilot initiative, incorporating the suggestions and contributions made by the participants and involving intensive consultation throughout the next year. Curriculum in future years will aim to use concrete case studies to develop strategic problem solving skills. Stay tuned!
The ten themes discussed at the Institute were:
Day I: Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Challenges
International Standards and Strategies
Day II: Tools for Cities, Urban Renewal and Prevention
Women’s Safety and the City
Day III: Community Policing and Contemporary Challenges in Preventive Policing
Evaluation of Crime Prevention Strategies
Day IV: Strategic Management of Crime Prevention
Private Sector Participation and Crime Prevention
Day V: Youth and Urban Crime Strategies
Citizen Participation and Crime Prevention
Summaries of the presentations and links to pertinent documents on these ten themes are available by clicking the day on the side-bar heading of the IO. We also provide a brief description of the four site visits.
