What can you do about getting an anti-crime campaign going....?

Question

Give me ideas, as someone in law enforcement, what
do you think...

Answer 1

this one is a tricky one... word of mouth has shown to be one of the most powerful tools... it strengthens civil society and hybridises the message to the audience, which makes it become acceptable and do-able. people need to see that there is something in it for them, less crime is truly a win-win-win situation. this has been used for urban crime in moresby and nairobi.
it depends on the setting...... and whether the police have strong community ties, and whether there is widespread political corruption, and what kind of movements are active on the ground. the UN Habitat safercities page may be an infopoint.
