"This document was designed to guide and support the development, implementation and evaluation of community education programs. It addresses five broad areas: the concept of a safer community; the fundamental principles associated with a safer community; education as a treatment option for achieving a safer community; issues that influence the success or failure of education programs; a framework of best practice for developing, implementing and evaluating initiatives. This guide will assist program managers within the community safety education field to develop a more strategic approach to the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of education programs." --p. 5.
