What is a Community Safety Audit?
A Community Safety Audit helps to identify areas likely to stimulate fear and criminal opportunity. The audit gives the community a chance to survey areas and inform private and public agencies of existing or potential problem areas that could be reasonably made safer. The audit helps to minimise opportunities for crime, anti-social behaviour and fear of crime.

- Reduce opportunities for physical violence and property crime
- Provide important feedback to planners and ‘place’ managers
