Minister's Award for Leadership in Crime Prevention
Crime prevention is the concerted effort of individuals, communities, businesses, police services and government agencies working together to address the root causes of crime. It’s important to prevent crime before it occurs by working with community organizations who are involved in creating safer communities. Everywhere in Nova Scotia, communities are taking a pro-active and preventative approach to crime and we are supporting them.
Crime Prevention involves:
- gathering and sharing information needed for effective decision making;
- building partnerships and developing programs that address the root causes of crime;
- involving and supporting individuals in their efforts to prevent crime against themselves and their neighbours; and/or
- providing leadership.
