Everyone Benefits: Connecting People, Police and Crime

• Florence School of Transnational Governance

Join the STG Policy Leader Fellows for a discussion on the relations between citizens and police systems in Africa.

Crime undermines human safety and security by destroying trust relations between citizens and police systems in Africa. While all the 55 Countries on the continent are characterised with households that vary in income levels, religious or ethnic groups, this has continued to demand policing systems that can engage with all categories of residents, to reduce the prevalence of crime and increase law and order compliance.

This talk will introduce insights on three points;

1. How police forces in African Union member states, in collaboration with residents, can introduce crime prevention measures to reduce the likelihood of crime and its impact on victims at the grassroots level.
2. How people-driven initiatives can reform policing systems to guarantee safety and security for all.
3. How the Crime Preventer Models and Neighbourhood Watch Models can facilitate mutual working relations between citizens and police forces in pursuit of human safety and security on the continent.
