2. 讲习班侧重于两个问题 (a)查明社区参与预防犯罪的示范性最佳做法 (b)国家和社区如何分享其在成功预防犯罪方面的经验 据认为 犯罪使有关个人和社区均付出沉重代价 并影响了民众的生活质量 每年世界上都有数百万人成为杀人 对妇女施暴 偷盗和汽车失窃一类犯罪的受害者 据指出 犯罪的代价相当于一些发达国家国内生产总值(国内总产值)的 5 在发展中国家 这一数字更高达 14 为减少犯罪 增加公众的安全感 需要制订一个平衡的方针 兼顾传统的犯罪对策和有社区参与的预防措施 实际上 如果不能解决当地社区的安全与安定需要 就无法在打击跨国有组织犯罪的斗争中赢得胜利
2. The Workshop focused on two issues: (a) identification of models of best practice in community involvement in crime prevention; and (b) how States and communities could share their experiences in successful crime prevention. It was acknowledged that crime was costly both for the victims and the communities concerned, and that it affected the quality of people’s lives. Every year, millions of people around the world were victims of such crime as homicide, violence against women, burglary and car theft. It was noted that the costs of crime represented 5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in some developed countries and as much as 14 per cent of GDP in developing countries. To reduce the level of crime and increase the public’s sense of security, a well-balanced approach between the traditional responses to crime and preventive measures that involved the community was required. Indeed, the fight against transnational organized crime could not be won if it failed to address the safety and security needs of local communities.
