A number of new community safety ‘professions’ or positions have emerged in recent years. These often target neighbourhoods or housing areas seen as at–risk or disadvantaged, or are employed in selected public spaces. The aim of this report is to provide a brief overview of the emergence of such community safety roles, based on examples drawn from selected countries: England and Wales, France, Belgium, Australia, and South Africa. Within each country, examples of community safety positions are examined in terms of their public policy context, job description and structure, roles and responsibilities, recruitment and training, and their monitoring and evaluation. Some of the practical and political considerations in their implementation are also touched on. Details: Montreal: Interntional Centre for the Prevention of Crime, 2006. 76p.
