SAFER CITIES PARTNERS

Safer Cities operates in close partnership with a number of international organisations specialized in crime prevention and development. They are involved in the implementation of the programme through a Steering Comitee. Members of the Steering comitee and programme partners are:

  • The European Forum for Urban Security (EFUS)

EFUS is a network of approximately 300 cities with the goal of encouraging exchanges of technologies and positive experiences. It promotes the concept of urban safety to be built into policies in the areas of education, employment, culture and urban development, to the benefit of all citizens. The work of the network focuses on the following areas:

  • developing a common safety policy
  • Linking safety responses to social responses
  • re-establishing neighbourhood bounds
  • Taking into account the link between micro- and macro criminality
