Crime prevention at the local level – opinions of experts from the field
Abstract:
In the past, the IKSP has conducted questionnaire surveys to map the opinions of local-level crime prevention professionals. The views of the relevant authorities on crime prevention in all larger municipalities in the Czech Republic were mapped; the focus of the survey was the professionals' views on the effectiveness of individual prevention strategies in their locality and how these could be developed further. Other topics included the organisation of preventive work in municipalities and cooperation with non-governmental, non-profit organisations in the prevention of problematic phenomena. In 2023, the event was held again in close cooperation with the Crime Prevention Department of the Czech Ministry of the Interior, with the aim of obtaining up-to-date information on the state of local preventive activities and the quality of cooperation between actors across the country. These findings can then inform the planning of nationwide projects and the future support of progressive local initiatives.
