This strategy is as much about community safety as it is about justice but we use the term 'justice' as shorthand for the two related concepts’.
Greater integration of public services at a local level driven by better Partnership, collaboration and effective local delivery
A decisive shift towards prevention

5. Building Safer Communities Programme
Vision Is of a flourishing, optimistic Scotland in which resilient communities, families and individuals live safe from crime disorder and danger. Approach Crime has fallen sharply across Scotland but not equally. We want to reduce inequality and drive improvement by building on the strengths, assets and resilience of communities.
It is a Scottish Government Lead initiative delivered through a Board of Senior officers from key public and third sector organisations;
- Police, Fire, ( services and Boards) Solace, VRU, Children in Scotland --- website full details.
The key aspect here is that the approach is clearly about building on the strengths, assets and resilience of communities – basically erngageing and listening to communities and individuals using their skills and experiences to find solutions.
