CCI

Cutting Crime Impact

The objective of the CCI project is to allow the police and other authorities, both local and national, in particular those responsible for security policies, to reduce the impact of petty crime and, as far as possible, prevent it altogether. The project focuses essentially on petty crime that has a negative impact upon citizens – violent assault, burglary, theft and antisocial behaviour – and that which creates an atmosphere of insecurity. CCI will design, develop and demonstrate four Toolkits covering: (i) predictive policing; (ii) community policing; (iii) crime prevention through urban design and planning; and (iv) measuring and mitigating citizens’ feelings of insecurity.
