 What is Crime Prevention?

“The anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the actions taken – including the integrated community leadership required – to remove or reduce it”.

As outlined in the Ontario Crime Prevention Framework, Safe City Mississauga works toward an inclusive and truly preventative approach in order to predict, identify, prevent and reduce crime by addressing the risk factors associated with crime and victimization. We focus on the factors that come before the onset of criminal and anti-social behaviour through proactive measures that target individuals, family/peers, community and society.
