Title: A Review of the Western Australian Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Planning Process: Final Report
Summary: Western Australia’s Office of Crime Prevention (OCP) has supported local communities across Western Australia to develop Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plans since 2005. Over this period, 126 out of 144 local government authorities (LGAs) have engaged in the crime prevention planning process. This has exceeded their original target of engaging 120 LGAs. The OCP has also supported the communities that have had their plans endorsed to implement related activities. This process has resulted in crime prevention activity being undertaken at both a planning and implementation level throughout WA in metropolitan, rural and remote settings. Since 2005, the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has been evaluating the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Planning process in Western Australia. This work has documented both the planning and implementation processes, and has identified both the successes of this process and areas in which communities need further support. This evaluation work aims to make recommendations that could potentially improve the delivery of the Community Safety and Crime Prevention (CSCP) Plans in Western Australia. This current work by the AIC is an extension of a previous collaboration between the AIC and the OCP that operated for two years during 2005 and 2006.
