CCJA Congress

Overview
Introduction and History
What is Crime Reduction?
What We Have Done
Lots of Engagement
- Conference
- Stakeholder Meetings
- Workshops
Key Themes
Integration and Outcomes Measurement
Key Drivers of Crime
Addictions, Mental Health, Poverty
Crime is a social outcome
Key Populations
Aboriginals, High Risk Youth, High Needs/High Risk Adult Offenders
Saturation and Frustration
- Police, Corrections, and other social agencies (and those that pay for these services) are frustrated at their singular inability to affect permanent positive change with some groups of offenders (e.g. prolific repeat offenders)
• Many of our social services are now “saturated” (e.g. overcrowded jails)
• We need to create better access to those non-police type services that disrupt offending by attacking risk/need factors
– Social Triage and Routing
• THERE IS NO “NEW” MONEY, BUT WE ALREADY SPEND LOTS OF “OLD” MONEY!
Therefore we have to do things differently, but what is left to try?
Where do we start?
Build research partnerships to assemble a better
understanding of NB crime issues and underlying
factors
Promote knowledge of evidence-based approaches
Foster crime prevention/reduction
partnerships
Provide communities with opportunities and tools, to
develop and implement effective reduction strategies
Communities engaged in strategic problem solving
processes
Increased focus on those most at risk and associated risk and protective factors
Increased application of new knowledge
Scans, analysis and evaluation reports made available to
stakeholders
Conferences, workshops,
training sessions, web-based
initiatives etc. underway
Effective local crime prevention partnerships and
networks established
Evidence based crime reduction
approaches developed and implemented
Positive changes in risk and protective factors among
target populations
Increased engagement of communities in using evidence based crime
prevention and reduction approaches
Targeted priority groups receiving
appropriate integrated
interventions and support that target risk and protective
factors
Increased knowledge on NB risk and
protective factors
Prevention and reduction of crime
