- Implementing the Plan
- Examples of Problems and Strategies
- Preventing Crime and Criminality
Guide 2: “Applying for Safer Community Compacts” explains what a Safer Community Compact is (as defined by the Children (Protection and Parental Responsibility) Act 1997). The Safer Community Compacts guide describes what information and documentation should be supplied to the Attorney General if your council wishes to have a local crime prevention plan endorsed by the Attorney General as a Safer Community Compact.
This guide is for councils that wish to apply to the Attorney General for endorsement of a local crime prevention plan as a Safer Community Compact. This guide can assist understanding of:
- what a Safer Community Compact is;
- how to apply to the Attorney General for endorsement of your local crime prevention plan as a Safer Community Compact; and
- how to work towards an application for a Safer Community Compact.
Applying for Operational Areas describes those powers that can be exercised by police to remove young people from public places under Part 3 of the Children (Protection and Parental Responsibility) Act 1997. Such powers can only be exercised in a local government area, or part of a local government area, that has been declared as an operational area by the Attorney General.
View the Children (Protection and Parental Responsibility) Act 1997.
Guide 3 describes the information and documentation that should be supplied to the Attorney General by local councils who wish to have an operational area declared in the local government area.
The Act does not require a local council to have a local crime prevention plan or Safer Community Compact before applying for an operational area. However the Act does require the Attorney General to have regard to local crime prevention initiatives. Information about any local crime prevention initiatives or plans will lend support to an application for an operational area.
Likewise the Act does not require a local council to have an operational area before applying to the Attorney General for a Safer Community Compact.
