Ideas & Ideas & Initiatives
Home
The Ideas & Initiatives Section of the site has been divided into 5 sections to give you as much information as we can of all aspects of putting together your initiative.
Ideas Exchange
Contains a database of ideas and initiatives on all crime reduction topics. It can be handy for getting a few quick ideas. Don't forget, though, that what works in one location will not automatically work everywhere (or anywhere) else and you'll need to consider those factors that are most relevant to your area.
We're also interested to hear about your ideas and initiatives. If you've done something, or have an innovative initiative planned, then let us know through the Ideas Exchange's 'What are you doing' form.
Awards
Gives details of award-winning schemes from around the UK and beyond. It also includes instructions on how to enter future competitions. Awards covered include:
Tilley Awards
British Community Safety Awards
European Crime Prevention Award
Phillip Lawrence Award
Crime Prevention Through Design
Taking A Stand
Funding
In these pages we've tried to bring together as much information as we can on where you can apply for funding for crime reduction schemes, and on those awards that have been made over recent years. We've brought together details from 23 funding streams that are available to Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships.
Journals
Crime Reduction News (CRN) is aimed at all those involved in devising and supporting strategies in the area of crime reduction and the Digest is produced quarterly in January, April, July and October by the Crime Reduction Centre Information Team and is issued to Crime Reduction/Community Safety Practitioners nation-wide. Both these journals are available to read and to download through the website.
Toolkits
Toolkits are consolidated and comprehensive guidance covering the main areas of crime and criminality. They have been developed by a range of practitioners and policy makers from government, police, local authorities, voluntary groups and others.
We're updating the content and format of the Toolkits throughout 2004. The first to have been updated is Audits & Strategies. You can see which ones we've updated by looking for the little blue icons on the Toolkits home page.
