Main objective
Prevention of crime, including urban, juvenile and environmental crime
• Based on private-public target partnerships (municipality, higher education institutions, NGOs, private research-education and social inclusion and rehabilitation services)
• Implementation of innovative actions, methods and tools to study and prevent crimes committed in urban areas by young people under the effects of alcohol and drugs
• Development of effective approaches and methods to support replication, sustainability and transferability
Expected result
Reduction of juvenile crimes in urban areas linked to the use
of alcohol and drugs
social conflict between young people, residents and shopkeepers over the use of public areas
different use of the space breakdown in communication among city users
gradual erosion of social cohesion increasing in insecurityanti-social behavior and disorder intensifying
Background
Mapping the key areas which are hot spots for conflicts, antisocial behaviour, juvenile crimes
The accurate investigation of the needs of the stakeholders involved shows a real new context identified by some common grounds:1. re-building a shared meaning of the common urban space within the community2. enlarging the target group (not only the bars and the young people) but a composite set involving all the city users and interested stakeholders3. putting the stakeholders in contact and setting up a dialogue amongst them growing the participation of the community as a whole
Research and evaluation:
the process defines a proposition and the expected changes it maps the actions backward to identify necessary preconditionsthe outputs become middle-term goals to be reached the set of outcomes put in logical and chronological order prove why one outcome is a condition for another one
SME City's theory of change is based on this proposition: “contested spaces create tensions in inner cities which lead to increased levels
of disorder and anti-social behaviour”
Theory of change to achieve the goals
