National Crime Prevention Strategy

Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada

Program Activity: Countering Crime

Name of Transfer Payment Program: National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS)

Start date: 1998-99

End date: Ongoing

Description: Crime Prevention is a key component of the federal government’s approach to reducing crime. The program’s goal is to reduce offending among those most at risk such as children, youth and Aboriginal Canadians who present various risk factors, and to prevent the commission of specific crimes such as youth violence, drug-related offences, and hate crimes.  This program provides national leadership on the development of crime prevention strategies, policies and programs that are evidence-informed, responsive, and appropriate to community and regional needs.  The program provides funding through time-limited grants and contributions to community-based organizations, other levels of government, and academia to support the implementation of targeted interventions, and the dissemination of knowledge and practical tools.  The program fosters increased coordination and integration of crime prevention policy and programs federally, and with the provinces and territories, as well as the identification of emerging priority issues and orientation of funding programs.

Expected results: Reduced offending among targeted populations (youth at-risk and high risk repeat offenders).
