Federal crime prevention efforts
- PAVnet Online: Partnerships Against Violence. An interagency site providing information about effective violence prevention initiatives. Participating federal agencies include the Departments of Labor, Education, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Health and Human Services, and Defense.
- Watch Your Car: National Auto Theft Prevention Program. The Bureau of Justice Assistance's national voluntary vehicle registration program designed to deter auto theft and assist in the apprehension of auto thieves. Based on successful auto theft prevention programs in the states of Illinois and Texas and in several local jurisdictions, car owners in states and localities participating in the program voluntarily display a decal which authorizes law enforcement officers to stop the vehicle under certain circumstances to determine whether it is being operated with the owner's consent.
- National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). One of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NCIPC's work to reduce morbidity, disability, mortality, and costs associated with injury outside the workplace includes violence prevention. The Division of Violence Prevention has four priority areas for violence prevention: youth violence, family and intimate violence, suicide, and firearm injuries.
Crime prevention associations
- National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC). A national non-profit aimed at the prevention of crime and building stronger communities; this on-line resource center includes information on crime prevention, community building, comprehensive planning, and crime prevention resources for kids featuring McGruff the Crime Prevention Dog and his sidekick Scruff (both registered trademarks of the Council).
