Community Partners
Few violence, delinquency, crime or disorder problems are the responsibility of, or can be solved by, any single individual, agency or organization. Solutions come from a number of community partners working together, each making important contributions to the overall solution. The collective and collaborative approach to violence and crime prevention works.
