CPO commissioned community and crime prevention consultants, Ken Hoffman and Melanie Bania, to work closely with the staff involved in the three projects to help them plan and evaluate their work. The main purpose of this document is to contribute to both the theory and practice relating to community-based crime prevention. This work was driven by a desire to help communities move beyond simply reporting "what they did" toward critically examining why they chose certain interventions, and assessing the impact of these initiatives. By effectively capturing these experiences and learnings, these communities and others like them are well-placed to learn more from one other, share best practices in community-based crime prevention and strengthen their work. This report presents the outcomes of our efforts, including: A comprehensive listing of the community-based projects and initiatives undertaken in each of the three communities; The Theory of Change, developed jointly by the three communities, which describes the conditions that need to be in place to produce changes in community safety; and Three case studies that illustrate the impact of community-based crime prevention initiatives on residents in each community.
