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 insecurity
anti-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
community
2. enlarging the target group (not only the bars and the young people) but
a composite set involving all the city users and interested stakeholders
3. putting the stakeholders in contact and setting up a dialogue amongst
them growing the participation of the community as a whole
Activities
• Research and evaluation
• Social Mediation
• Recovery
• Dissemination
Research and evaluation:
Theory of change to achieve the goals
the process defines a proposition and the expected changes
it maps the actions backward to identify necessary preconditions
the 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”
Perugia
EXPECTED CHANGE
