Crime Reduction Centre Digest

The Digest quarterly journal was published in January, April, July and October by the Crime Reduction Centre Information Services Team and was issued to Crime Reduction/Community Safety Practitioners nation wide.

The closure of CRC sadly brought this journal to an end in April 2005. The last ever edition and back editions are available below.

A new publication to be published electronically every month is now being planned. If you have any suggestions or any material you would like to be considered for inclusion please email digest@crimereduction.gov.uk.

When it began in the late 1980s, the Digest was as a means of keeping students on Crime Prevention courses in touch with crime prevention work. Since then it developed into an important medium for communicating and sharing crime reduction information with practitioners, particularly those involved in Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships.

The Editor gathered material through direct contributions, environmental scanning and proactive sourcing of information but, as the Digest is a forum for practitioners to share their ideas and experiences, it relied heavily on practitioners' contributions.

All the Digest publications since 2002 are available online here and a PDF version is also available to practitioner organisations who want to publish it on intranets or print for wider use. For example, some police forces copy relevant sections for working groups within partnerships or Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators and available online.
