Synopsis
Instead, we see this as an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of many Albertans and their families, to provide a catalyst for concerted and deliberate action to attack crime in our communities and, in the longer term, to make our communities safer places for Albertans today and in the years to come. [...] Engaging Albertans From the outset, the Task Force was committed to engaging Albertans in the process - listening to their stories, hearing about their personal experiences, learning about the many initiatives underway in communities across the province and seeking their views on what needs to be done to reduce crime and improve safety in Alberta communities. [...] Digging deeper In addition to consulting with Albertans and reviewing the facts on crime, the Task Force was committed to probing deeper into the causes of crime in our communities, examining the research from around the world and grounding our recommendations in solid evidence. [...] The Task Force also heard concerns about: • The lack of enforcement of Alberta's Gaming and Liquor Act and regulations related to the accessibility, sales and service of alcohol • Driving offences from speeding and accidents to impaired driving and aggressive driving • Graffiti and vandalism • Gambling • Elder abuse The Task Force also heard consistent concerns about the criminal justice system [...] And we heard about the unique challenges high turnover of people that of engaging and involving immigrants and people new to Alberta and Canada.Book Details
