The Caribbean Community Action Plan for Social Development and Crime Prevention 2009-2013 (CSDP) Action Plan’s main objective is to prevent and reduce levels of violence and crime in Member States. It underscores the need for the integration of crime prevention considerations into all relevant social and economic policies and programmes, including those addressing employment, education, health, housing and urban planning, poverty, social marginalisation and exclusion with particular emphasis placed on communities, families, children and youth at risk. It also proposes a cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary approach focused on_
Groups at risk of engaging in violent behaviour and criminal activities, already exposed to high levels of violence and victimization, and groups in conflict with the law, in particular children and youth, and
Institutional responses to crime and violence from a prevention perspective.
