OVERVIEW
This is the third phase of the TDG-funded project “Crime
Issue”, first implemented in 2008. Similar to the first (200809) and second (2009-10) phases, the project’s third phase
will cover a wide range of teaching and learning activities
inside and outside the classroom, such as field visits, guest
seminars, editorial work of a newsletter and a forum. As an
improvement of the previous phases, participants of the new
project will take a more active role in conveying the crime
prevention message to the community. Participants will team
up in collaboration with the police crime prevention unit to
educate different vulnerable groups in community (e.g.
elderly, juvenile delinquents as well as sex workers) about
situational crime prevention techniques. Other than CityU
students, community residents will also benefit from the
proposed project.
