Communities, crime and victims of crime

ICPR has conducted a range of studies on the public’s attitudes towards and experiences of crime; the ways in which crime impacts local communities; community involvement in addressing crime and disorder; and the effects of, and approaches to tackling, anti-social behaviour. Restorative justice is a particular focus of ICPR research; this work has included evaluations of RJ initiatives in a range of settings.
