Article on Cities and Violence (CEPAL), by Laura Petrella and Franz Vanderschueren |
|
La delincuencia se ha constituido en un serio problema, en los últimos 20 años, en la mayoría de las ciudades de los países desarrollados y en las áreas urbanas de los países en desarrollo que, en muchos casos, han experimentado también un fuerte aumento demográfico. Además, la delincuencia se sitúa en un contexto de globalización del crimen organizado y del tráfico y consumo de drogas.

Young offenders and youth-at-risk : overview of current international approches, Ahmed Othmani |
|
Penal Reform International works on Prison and Penal Reform around the world. A great deal of our work concerns juveniles and juvenile justice. PRI believes that a proper administration of juvenile justice cannot be achieved without a strong education and welfare system. Helping young people in conflict with the law to become law abiding adult citizens is much more the job of parents, teachers, social workers and psychologists than it is of police, courts and prisons. PRI is of the opinion that juvenile offending should be dealt with as far as possible from the formal criminal justice and penal system.

Youth Deliquency Survey - A Methodology Paper |
|
Around the world levels of crime and violence committed by youths in urban areas are on the increase. Furthermore, there is an inverse relationship between the crime and the age of the age of the perpetrators, with the age profile of criminals
constantly decreasing. To assess crime amongst young people, this Youth Offender Profile tool is being developed by the Safer Cities Programme of the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat). This tool is based on previous Kenyan, South African and Tanzanian experience.

Victimisation Surveys: A Methodology Paper(draft) |
|
Construire une culture de la prévention demande du temps et consiste avant tout à créer un triple consensus : tout d'abord il faut persuader les habitants de la possibilité de limiter les effets de la criminalité et réduire ou déraciner ses causes à travers une politique de prévention. Ensuite il faut vaincre chez les habitants le sentiment d'insécurité qui les paralyse, les pousse à faire appel à la seule répression, à se résigner devant la fatalité de la criminalité ou à prendre en main leur propre justice en violant souvent les droits de l'homme. Enfin il faut faire d'eux des acteurs organisés de la lutte contre les causes et les effets de la criminalité sous toutes ses formes.

From violence to justice and security in cities, in " Environment and Urbanization" |
|
This paper describes the growth in crime, especially violent crime, in cities around the world. It also describes the
underlying causes or contributory factors to this growth and the responses of citizens and governments - most of which are largely
ineffective. The final section describes new approaches which centre on more effective partnerships between communities, municipal
authorities, the police and the judicial system, and on special programmes for young people who are unemployed and excluded from many aspects of society.

Violence Against Women in Urban Areas |
|
Although women’s contribution in today’s societies is essential and indisputable, nowhere is their status on a par with men’s. Women are a vulnerable group in all areas. With respect to violence, the evidence is revealing and irrevocable: not only are women particularly affected by many forms of violence, but most often these happen inside what should be the most secure of environments; their own homes. As the United Nations Development Programme’s annual Human Development Report (1995) commented: “In no society are women secure or treated as equal to men. Personal insecurity shadows them from cradle to grave… From childhood through adulthood, they are abused because of their gender”.

Streetchildren and Gangs in African Cities, Guidelines for Local Authorities |
|
The problem of street children is well documented in Latin America and South-East Asia. However, in Africa it is a comparative by new phenomenon. Sub-Saharan Africa is currently the least urbanized region of the developing world, with about 30 percent of the population living in cities. Catching up fast, Africa is currently experiencing the highest urban growth rates. Local authorities in Africa are increasingly confronted with a rising number of street children and all too often do not quite know how to deal with this growing problem.

Report of the International Conference for Crime Prevention Partnership to build Community Safety |
|
The inspiration for the Johannesburg conference came in 1996 during the Vancouver conference on crime prevention for practitioners. It was realised that South Africa had an important role to play in the international crime prevention debate, both as an example of successful initiatives, and as a learning opportunity for South Africans to become better informed about developments in crime prevention internationally.

The 8th Steering Group Meeting was held in conjunction with the second World Urban Forum in Barcelona. As the Steering Group had previously met just three months ago, no “formal” progress report was circulated.
