Crime prevention and policy
As a wealth of data is collected on the dynamics of crime, and the effectiveness of crime prevention programs, policy makers need better ways of analysing and understanding those results. This understanding is crucial when they make the hard decisions about funding crime prevention programs and policing initiatives with public money.

ACVPA 2011
The annual Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards are sponsored by the heads of Australian governments and members of the Ministerial Council for Police and Emergency Management - Police as a joint Australian Government, state and territory initiative. They include monetary awards totalling up to $130,000 and are presented to a number of categories, including national winners and meritorious police projects.
The awards reward good practice in the prevention or reduction of violence and other types of crimes in Australia, to encourage public initiatives and to assist governments in identifying and developing practical projects that will reduce violence and other types of crime in the community. Projects may address specific groups such as rural and remote communities, women, children, youth or the family, or specific problems such as alcohol-related violence. An award may also be available for initiatives of great merit or for outstanding projects that have recently ceased operation.
These awards are primarily designed to recognise community led crime prevention activities.
Government funded crime prevention projects including police initiatives are not eligible to receive financial awards but may receive recognition for their innovation and contribution to reducing crime and violence in the community.

Young people, risk and resilience
Young people who experiment with alcohol and other drugs, whether legally or illegally obtained, may unwittingly compromise their safety and wellbeing or the safety and wellbeing of others.
Evidence suggests that young people who use alcohol and other drugs are more likely to participate in other high-risk activities, and to be involved in violent and traumatic incidents such as assaults. Inexperience and peer influence undoubtedly contribute to these harms. In addition, use of alcohol and other drugs can increase young people's risk of committing crimes and lead to early involvement in the criminal justice system.
