How to Reduce Crime in Violent Urban Contexts

What can be done to reduce crime in violent urban contexts?

Below is and excerpt from an expert discussion on urban crime originally published in The Guardian, quoting John de Boer.

 


"One thing that we need to do better at the UN is to better prepare peacekeeping, humanitarian, and development actors to ensure that their interventions reduce violence over the long-term by helping to move key reforms and structural changes forward. One key development would be a measurable and effective target within the SDG process to reduce violence. This needs to be a global priority."
