What can make or break a city's violence reduction strategy? California Partnership for Safe Communities (CPSC) and the University of Pennsylvania Crime and Justice Policy Lab convened a diverse panel of national experts to consider this challenge. Building on our decades of experience as well as the growing body of violence prevention evidence, we wrestled with why so few cities are able to make sustainable progress in reducing community violence at the city level. One key finding: effective political governance and strong public management are critical to a successful gun violence reduction strategy.

New report published by Centre for Social Justice & Justice and Care looks at the impact of #criminalexploitation, which is not defined within Modern Slavery Act 2015. The report does not just focus on individual victims but also the impact on their families, neighbours and wider communities who all suffer as a result #crimeandasb #antisocialbehaviour. The report makes a raft of recommendations. Here are just a few... ♦️ #Cuckooing to be made a criminal offence ♦️ #Neighbourhoodpolicing to be prioritised and resources increased ♦️ Increased training to those professionals likely to come into contact with victims ♦️ All modern slavery victims eligible for social housing should be exempt from local connections and given priority. This should include victims of criminal exploitation and cuckooing. ♦️ Criminal exploitation to be defined within the #modernslaveryact15 ♦️Support to be offered to those victim to criminal exploitation (especially children) ♦️To roll out the child trafficking guardian service nationally.

🔍 Addressing the Cost of Crime in Our Communities: A Collaborative Approach Recent studies by MoneyGeek reveal the most dangerous cities in the U.S., ranked by the cost of crime per capita. With Cleveland listed among the top 10, it’s clear that our community faces significant challenges. At The Partnership for a Safer Cleveland, we believe that understanding these costs is essential to developing effective strategies to combat violence and improve public safety. 💬 Crime imposes profound economic and social burdens on our cities—from direct financial costs to the long-term effects on community well-being. But by fostering collaboration between the public, law enforcement, and policymakers, we can advance solutions that address the root causes of crime and build a safer, more resilient Cleveland. 🏙️ We are committed to being a critical conduit in this effort, connecting all stakeholders to create a community where everyone feels secure. Let’s work together to turn the tide and create lasting change. 💪✨ #CommunitySafety #CollaborativeSolutions #Cleveland #EndViolence #PublicSafety #SaferCleveland #KnowMore

Vulnerable children are at risk, but whose risk is it anyway? As a former police officer, Mutual Ventures Essack Miah has seen first-hand how vulnerable children are at risk of falling through the gaps between services. In his recent article, he challenges professionals to view child protection through a collaborative lens, emphasising multi-agency working and early support rather than siloed responsibility. Let’s act together to ensure every child is safe and has the support they need to thrive.

This is a topic of national importance. Each State and Territory is facing similar issues and trying to work out the best way forward to tackle crime in general and youth crime in particular. Ultimately the success of alternative programs requires significant investment (but the cost and benefit of that investment may be less than the cost of incarceration).
The Community Safety Plan is another expensive step in the wrong direction that will not make the Queensland community any safer. Instead of pumping more funds into more police and new detention centres, Queensland’s politicians need to invest meaningfully in evidence-based interventions that actually will make a difference.
