Welcome to our awards area. Here you’ll find details of all the
major UK and international crime reduction and community safety
awards schemes. We’ve tried to include details of award-winning
schemes and instructions for how you can make an entry, too.

Many of the award-winners can also be found in the Ideas
exchange. If there’s a project you see somewhere in here and you
want to find out a little more, then check out the Exchange.

British Community
Safety Awards

British Community Safety Awards are designed to highlight
innovation and best practice in the field of crime reduction. They
are dedicated to rewarding community members and groups who work to
reduce community crime, and fear of crime. The awards are organised
by Crime Concern and since 2002 have been sponsored by Marks &
Spencer.

Details of how to enter British Community Safety Awards 2004 have
not yet been released. You can view
our page on the British Community Safety Awards 2003 for more

The
Tilley Awards

The Tilley Award was set up by the Home Office Policing and
Reducing Crime Unit (now the Crime and Policing Group) in 1999 to
encourage and recognise good practice in implementing
problem-oriented policing (POP). The Award, funded by the Home
Office, will pay for winners to attend the Annual International
Problem-Oriented Policing Conference in San Diego: this usually
provides the opportunity for winners to present their project at the
conference. Although originally open only to the police, eligibility
has recently been extended to include Crime & Disorder Reduction
Partnerships.

European Crime Prevention Award

Heralded as the equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest of the
criminal justice world, the European Crime Prevention Award is a
contest which aims to reward the best European crime prevention
project. Entries for the award are by nomination. The UK project is
normally a winner of either the British Community Safety Award or
the Tilley Award.

can be found on the
European Union Crime Prevention Network’s website
