Course Details

When neighborhood safety is compromised and crime and violence become part of your community’s daily life, it affects innocent bystanders, the youth of the community and the neighborhood as a whole. Learn practical tools for community action to prevent crime from overriding your community, such as citizen mobilization, situational prevention, and mentoring; and how to create a coalition to affect policy and create change. Learn what neighbors can do together to go beyond just fighting crime — to making a neighborhood a safe place to call home. Find out how to develop effective collaborations among residents, police departments, schools and businesses. Get tips on how to mobilize people who are anxious and fearful about getting involved and learn about innovative efforts taking place around the country that help fight crime and create a better sense of community.
