The Local Council for Crime Prevention: an experiment in good governance to prevent crime
More news about the topic
On April 2020, the Be Secure Feel Secure project established the Local Council for Crime Prevention (LCCP) for the Greek Municipality of Piraeus. The LCCP is comprised of diverse stakeholders: criminology experts, representatives of the city, members of the local and municipal police corps, and has the support of another BSFS initiative -the CURIM platform.
Its goal is to promote collaborative decision-making between the main urban stakeholders of the city, focusing on crime prevention. To achieve this, the LCCP studies the criminal situation of Piraeus, provides tailor-made policies and strategies, promotes awareness on the topic, intervenes in the city’s facilities and operations, and carries out periodical meetings to achieve a consensus.
Crime prevention councils are a good example of the key role of good governance in preventing crime.
