Editor's Notes
- The aim of this network is to promote the role of local governments in crime prevention policies through the exchange of know-how, ideas and practices among local authorities throughout Europe. A common observation: Cities represent citizens better than any other level of government Our conviction: a just city is a safer city« Cities helping cities »
- And our values: Sharing knowledge and best practices; Democratic legitimacy and proximity to citizens; Respect for Human Rights; International perspective
- Ongoing projects: Security & Tourism – for a safer environment in tourist cities; Methodological tools for the definition of local security policies; Imppulse: Improving police-population understanding; Eemus : European diploma in urban security
- Manifesto - is a political platform on urban security which brings together all the values and principles that form the foundations of Efus’ and its members’ actions. it also forms a future plan of action for local authorities that can be followed during the years to come.
- Create a culture of prevention and safe environment for all urban inhabitants, by strengthening the capacity of local authorities, the criminal justice system, the private sector and civil society partners, to address urban safety issues and reduce delinquency and insecurity. 6 CCTV, 4 prevention of drug abuse, one on general safety and one on reacting in crises situations.
- rates of criminal offenses related to drug abuse in 2007 – 2008
- Developed within the project “Citizens, Cities and Video-Surveillance”, with ten partner cities. Charters and codes of conduct are frequently referred to as forms of “soft law” or “informal” regulation, as they do not typically give rise to substantive legal rights or interests. It would be wrong, however, to assume that charters are not important forms of internal regulation. By providing a clear set of values and governing principles, they can play a pivotal role in shaping the organisational culture of CCTV schemes, and provide camera operators and scheme managers with goals that can be used to guide everyday decision-making.
