Crime prevention -- Australia.

Immigrants -- Australia.

"This handbook has been written to provide general information to ethnic and other community groups on community-based crime prevention. Although many of the principles discussed in this booklet could be useful to any community group, the handbook does take into account specific problems and anxieties experienced by migrant minorities. It identifies these, and offers helpful suggestions for communities to overcome these difficulties through designing safer and more friendly environments. In the past a rather gloomy picture of close-knit migrant communities, particularly in urban or industrial areas, has been painted. Biased media reporting and prejudice in wider society have depicted minority group enclaves as suffering from crime, disorder and inter-cultural conflict." -- Publisher's website.
