Community Safety Internet Site

The University of the West of England has established a World Wide Web Site for Community Safety ( if you're reading this, you've found it!) This is the first British Web Site on this topic and contains relevant information and conference papers. Once accessed, the site provides links to other crime prevention Web Sites, including those provided by the Home Office, The United Nations, The International Centre for Crime Prevention and the United States National Crime Prevention Council. Thus, from one easy access point it is possible to acquire data on crime prevention and community safety from all over the world.
