Résumé
Through the project funding made available under the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS), PS supports the implementation of community-based projects that respond to specific priorities such as youth gangs, youth violence and bullying. Most of these community-based projects aim to implement interventions that address criminogenic (risk) factors that are known to be related to an increased likelihood of offending, and protective factors that decrease this probability. Once the research division within PS determines whether and how these projects contribute to crime prevention, stakeholders, including provincial and territorial governments are encouraged to sustain the projects or effective project elements in order to expand crime prevention efforts throughout Canada. The purpose of the Sustainability Study was to determine the extent to which NCPS funded crime prevention projects were sustained following their five year funding period.
