Crime Reduction - Helping to Reduce Crime in Your Area

Effective Practice Database

The Effective Practice Database is a database of projects that have been tried around the country. Please use it to research what works, and to avoid reinventing the wheel. 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.

You can search the database using the panel below, or find the latest additions to the database.

We're also interested to hear about your experiences. If you've done something, or have an innovative initiative planned, then let us know.
