Crime and urban insecurity in Europe: the role of local authorities - Resolution 99 (2000)

The Chamber of Local Authorities has long recognised that combating crime is a priority in Europe and that local authorities, along with other partners, have a role to play, particularly in the prevention of crime. Accordingly over the last few years, it has earmarked sufficient funds to enable its Working Group on Crime and Urban Insecurity to conduct a substantial work programme on the subject. This report brings together the main proposals emerging from this programme.
