From violence to justice and security in cities

Technical Cooperation Division of UNCHS (Habitat), PO Box 30030, Nairobi, Kenya. Fax: (254) 2 624264/3.

This paper describes the growth in crime, especially violent crime, in cities around the world. It also describes the underlying causes or contributory factors to this growth and the responses of citizens and governments -most of which are largely ineffective. The final section describes new approaches which centre on more effective partnerships between communities, municipal authorities, the police and the judicial system, and on special programmes for young people who are unemployed and excluded from many aspects of society.
