Description
'The development of crime prevention and community safety in Scotland': Since the 1980s crime prevention and community safety partnerships in Scotland have developed in a manner that shows striking similarity with developments in England and Wales. However, an examination of recent Scottish legislation, and the institutional structures within which partnership working has developed and is developing, supports the view that the approach taken in Scotland has not been identical. This paper shall provide an outline of the development of community safety partnerships in Scotland within the context of recent debates about the effects of devolution in Scotland and the convergence/divergence of policy agendas throughout the UK.
