Community Safety: In Retrospect and Prospect

This paper does two things. Firstly, it summarises briefly the current state of community safety policy in Wales and clarifies the framework within which it is delivered. Secondly, it sets out the direction in which the authors think Welsh community safety policy should move in the short- to medium-term future. As with our other papers in this series, the approach taken here is based on a commitment to strengthening community life by developing socially inclusive policies and, where practicable, building participatory models of practice.
