“…This way of thinking led to the development of several models of policing over the last three decades, whose pertinence is still very much at the fore of research and implementation, regardless of country and political interests (Bolas 2019 ). These include Community Policing (Trojanowicz and Bucqueroux 1998 ; Bayley 1996 ; Fisher-Stewart 2007 ; Hope 1995 ; Lawrence and McCarthy 2013 ; Gill et al 2014 ); Problem-Oriented Policing (Goldstein 1990 ; Weisburd et al 2008 ; Ward 1998 ; Braga 2008 ); Situational Crime Prevention (Sutton et al 2008 ; Rosenbaum et al 1998 ) and Proximity Policing (Brien 2015 ; Bolle 1998 ; Casey 2010 ; Monjardet 1996 ; Jenkins 2013 ). All these models have in common sharing the accountabilities between different actors and the community, although they differ in terms of institutional structures, which are also variable from country to country, influencing the way they are implemented.…”

Following the philosophy of other international programs as proximity policing or situational crime prevention, the Local Safety Contracts (CLS) have been an innovative strategy in Portugal, as they allow the sharing of accountabilities between the central and the local administration, in association with the police and the community. Nonetheless, little has been written in Portugal about such strategies, and nothing at all for the international scientific community. The aim of this paper is therefore to present the CLS, discussing their crime prevention stance and their impacts on local communities. First, the new preventive and multidisciplinary organizational model that is at the basis of CLS is discussed. Then a qualitative assessment of implementation is made through a set of interviews to relevant actors. Conclusions are drawn based on the experiences of municipalities, police and administration, contributing to the debate on community crime prevention, and enhancing the need for multidisciplinary, multilevel and place-specific approaches.

“…Primary person-based crime prevention focusses on at-risk groups, individuals and communities that are exposed to crime and disorder. Social and economic factors, such as low educational attainment, unemployment and issues of poor health, are considered the key issues that this type of primary prevention needs to address (Weatherburn, 2004; Hughes, 2007; Sutton et al , 2008). This approach to crime prevention is viewed as giving “much needed attention to the root causes of crime, especially the forces that contribute to delinquency, drug abuse, and a host of related adolescent problems” (Rosenbaum et al , 1998).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to consider primary prevention from the perspective of personbased crime prevention. This crime prevention measure is illustrated by an Australian case study. The report also recognises the integral role the community plays in the delivery of primary person-based crime prevention. Design/methodology/approach -This short paper adopts a case study approach. Findings -The paper illustrates the purpose and achievements of primary person-based crime prevention, including the success it has in reducing crime and improving feelings of safety in the community. The important role of community members and their contribution to this crime prevention method is offered. Practical implications -The practical implications this paper offers are to ensure community members are involved in the delivery of primary person-based crime prevention, to explicitly measure the contribution community members make to primary person-based crime prevention initiatives, to explicitly measure the contribution primary person-based crime prevention makes to the reduction of crime, and to build on the known success of primary person-based crime prevention through the implementation of more initiatives within this area of crime prevention. Originality/value -Primary person-based crime prevention can be overlooked in favour of primary placebased crime prevention. This short paper offers an insight into an overlooked aspect of crime prevention.

“…al. [18] points to feminist criticisms of this theory which include that in cases of family violence it is important for society to change offender motivations rather than the victim"s presence which can be targeted by programs, thus restricting woman"s freedom. But the same authors also commend the theory for taking the focus away from traditional criminal justice responses that only focus on the offender which have only had limited success.…”
