Community safety is a collective term including the reduction and prevention of:
- crime and anti-social behaviour
- substance misuse
- behaviour that adversely affects the environment
- accidents on the highway
Community safety is a priority for local and central government, and especially in light of the government's recent review of the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act.
