Distance Learning Programmes in Crime Prevention

We can all benefit from sharing experience on effective crime prevention measures and learning from each other how to create safer communities.

The open learning programme in Community Safety and Crime Prevention (UK) overcomes the problems of distance by sending learning packages through the post and via the Internet.

The programme is supported by experienced personnel who can offer additional support and teaching and assessment for accreditation. Use the links below for further information:
