Crime Prevention
Crime prevention plays a key role in keeping our State safe.
It focuses more on dealing with the causes of crime - to prevent it occurring in the first place - rather than the effects of crime.
The State Government has articulated its commitment to crime prevention in South Australia’s Strategic Plan, particularly through Objective 2: Improving Wellbeing and target 2.8 – Statewide crime rates: reduce victim reported crime by 12% by 2014.
Communities are at the heart of crime prevention. This is based on the belief that a local community is best placed to make a judgement on what will best work to prevent crime - and how to go about it.
Crime Prevention Grants
The Government promotes partnerships between government and non-government agencies to deliver sustainable solutions in crime prevention and community safety.
Crime Prevention and Community Safety Grants, offered annually by the Attorney General’s Department, are testament to this commitment.
