First global survey on municipal strategies for the prevention of crime

In the attempt to gather information on the role and action of local authorities in crime prevention and community safety in a systematic manner, ICPC (International Centre for the Prevention of Crime) is pleased to announce the official launch of the Global Survey on Safety in Cities.

The survey is the first of its kind and seeks to collect vital information about community safety and crime prevention in cities. It will offer the first database on safety in cities around the world, which will facilitate comparative analyses of local initiatives. The survey will also be a tool available for policy makers to reflect on existing practices to improve the quality of life of their citizens.

The questionnaire is available online in English, French, Spanish &  Portuguese (to be completed by August 31).
