This document discusses community awareness and crime prevention. It explains that community awareness and safety initiatives require a long-term community building process rather than one-time solutions. When community members work together by identifying local crime types and developing strategies, it can strengthen community spirit and reduce crime. Examples are given of activities to raise community awareness, such as blue ribbon campaigns, involving faith groups and schools, and distributing parenting resources.

3. INTRODUCTION
Community awareness, crime prevention and community safety initiatives cannot be packaged
as one-time solutions that can be applied in every community for every problem. Instead, crime
prevention should be viewed as a process of community building that can address a range of
issues that confront and challenge your community. From the corporate sector right down to the
local neighbourhood, community leaders have the ability to empower their communities to play
an active role in crime reductions.
By becoming active participants in identifying the types of crime in their neighbourhood, key
stakeholders can develop long range strategies to reduce crimes in their neighbourhoods.
Strong community awareness lessens the isolation of individuals, helps develop respect for the
property of others, enhances community spirit and provides citizens with a sense of belonging.
Crime prevention strategies are most effective when community members come together around
a common cause and coordinate their efforts at all levels to solve the issues in their community.

Examples of Community Awareness Activities
Organizations, groups, and tribal communities not yet ready to undertake a year-round family
support program like the ones described in the previous section can still do much to help raise
awareness, strengthen families, and protect children. The following ideas offer some starting
points for planning local community awareness activities. While some of these are specific to
Child Abuse Prevention Month, most can be used at any time of year.
Hold a Blue Ribbon Campaign. Since 1989, millions of people across the country have
participated in Blue Ribbon campaigns by wearing the ribbons and getting involved in
community activities to promote safe children and healthy families. Prevent Child Abuse
Virginia, a State chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, uses the blue ribbon to celebrate "Blue
Ribbon Parents," "Blue Ribbon Kids," or "Blue Ribbon Communities" that find new and
innovative ways to support families.
Involve local faith communities. Tips include organizing a parenting fair to educate parents
about support services available in their community, holding a Family Fun Day or Parent's Night
Out, hosting a parent education or self-help group at the facility, and establishing a resource
library focusing on parenting issues.
Involve men and fathers. The Hillsdale Child Abuse Council in Michigan kicked off its
countywide "Real Men Rock" shaken baby public awareness campaign with an ad campaign
showing local fathers nurturing and rocking their babies. Participants included a local emergency
medical technician and a teacher.

5. Involve local schools. The Exchange Club Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse of the
Trident Area, South Carolina, has developed a report card insert to show parents a positive
approach to dealing with disappointing grades.
Honor your community's culture. Parenting norms vary from culture to culture - be sure your
techniques for supporting families are relevant. The child abuse prevention program for the
Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe hosted a conference called "Honor Our Children, Honor Our
Heritage." The conference included a spiritual run/walk and a pow-wow ("Honor Our Children,
Drum Out Child Abuse"). Speakers from other reservations were invited to talk about child abuse
prevention. (For more information on this and other prevention activities for Native American
communities, see the National Indian Child Welfare Association website.)
Encourage community members to celebrate their own heroes. The New Hampshire
Children's Trust Fund, New Hampshire's Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP)
grantee, advertised the opportunity to make a contribution to the trust fund to honor a mother or
someone else special to the donor. The message read, "When you make a gift to the New
Hampshire Children's Trust Fund in the name of someone you love, your gift will not only honor
her, but also help other women become strong, effective mothers, too."
Distribute educational resources for parents. Find a number of tip sheets on positive parenting
(in English and Spanish) in the "What Individuals Can Do" section of this resource packet. Many
of the Prevention Initiative Partners also offer parenting resources.
PISI CULTURE
Fish farming

6. Intensive koi aquaculture facility in Israel
Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under
mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for
food. A facility that releases juvenile fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a
species' natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most
important fish species used in fish farming are carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.[1][2]
Major categories of fish aquaculture
There are two kinds of aquaculture: extensive aquaculture based on local photosynthetical
production and intensive aquaculture, in which the fish are fed with external food supply.
Extensive aquaculture
Aqua-Boy, a Norwegian live fish carrier used to service the Marine Harvest fish farms on the
West coast of Scotland
Limiting for growth here is the available food supply by natural sources, commonly zooplankton
feeding on pelagic algae or benthic animals, such as crustaceans and mollusks. Tilapia species
filter feed directly on phytoplankton, which makes higher production possible. The
photosynthetic production can be increased by fertilizing the pond water with artificial fertilizer
mixtures, such as potash, phosphorus, nitrogen and micro-elements. Because most fish are
carnivorous, they occupy a higher place in the trophic chain and therefore only a tiny fraction of
primary photosynthetic production (typically 1%) will be converted into harvest-able fish.
In these kinds of systems fish production per unit of surface can be increased at will, as long as
sufficient oxygen, fresh water and food are provided. Because of the requirement of sufficient
fresh water, a massive water purification system must be integrated in the fish farm. A clever way
to achieve this is the combination of hydroponic horticulture and water treatment, see below. The
exception to this rule are cages which are placed in a river or sea, which supplements the fish
crop with sufficient oxygenated water. Some environmentalists object to this practice.

7. Specific types of fish farms
Within intensive and extensive aquaculture methods, there are numerous specific types of fish
farms; each has benefits and applications unique to its design.
Cage system
Giant gourami is often raised in cages in central Thailand
Fish cages are placed in lakes, bayous, ponds, rivers or oceans to contain and protect fish until
they can be harvested.[8] The method is also called "off-shore cultivation[9] " when the cages are
placed in the sea. They can be constructed of a wide variety of components. Fish are stocked in
cages, artificially fed, and harvested when they reach market size.
Indoor fish farming
An alternative to outdoor open ocean cage aquaculture, is through the use of a recirculation
aquaculture system (RAS). A RAS is a series of culture tanks and filters where water is
continuously recycled and monitored to keep optimal conditions year round. To prevent the
deterioration of water quality, the water is treated mechanically through the removal of
particulate matter and biologically through the conversion of harmful accumulated chemicals into
nontoxic ones.

8. Birdwatching
Birdwatching or birding is the observation of birds as a recreational activity. It can be done with
the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes, or by
listening for bird sounds.[1][2]
Birdwatching often involves a significant auditory component, as many bird species are more
easily detected and identified by ear than by eye. Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for
recreational or social reasons, unlike ornithologists, who engage in the study of birds using
formal scientific methods.[1][2]
Birding, birdwatching, and twitching
A birdwatching tower in Hankasalmi, Finland.
The first recorded use of the term birdwatcher was in 1891; bird was introduced as a verb in
1918.[3] The term birding was also used for the practice of fowling or hunting with firearms as in
Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602): "She laments sir... her husband goes this
morning a-birding."[4] The terms birding and birdwatching are today used by some
interchangeably, although some participants prefer birding, partly because it does not exclude the
auditory aspects of enjoying birds.

9. Rearing (horse)
A highly trained horse performing the Pesade, a carefully controlled classical dressage movement
where the horse raises its forehand off the ground for a brief period
Rearing occurs when a horse or other equine "stands up" on its hind legs with the forelegs off the
ground. Rearing may be linked to fright, aggression, excitement, disobedience, or pain. It is not
uncommon to see stallions rearing in the wild when they fight, while striking at their opponent
with their front legs. Mares are generally more likely to kick when acting in aggression, but may
rear if they need to strike at a threat in front of them.
When a horse rears around people, in most cases, it is considered a dangerous habit for riding
horses, as not only can a rider fall off from a substantial height, but also because it is possible for
the animal to fall over backwards, which could injure the horse, and the animal could also fall on
the rider. It is therefore strongly discouraged. A horse that has a habit of rearing generally
requires extensive retraining by an experienced horse trainer, and if the habit cannot be corrected,
may be deemed too dangerous to ride.
A horse that rears when being handled by a human who is on the ground also presents a hazard,
as it is able to strike out with its front feet and can also fall even without the weight of a rider to
unbalance the animal. A rearing horse can also break away and escape from a human handler.

10. CONCLUSION
Although communities vary based on their location, the primary industry in the area and the typical
political allegiances of the residents, many issues are the same the world over. People need housing,
water, a clean environment and a sense of peace in their surroundings. Raising awareness of community
issues involves planning, effective public relations and lobbying the appropriate levels of government.
