EUCPN European Crime Prevention Network - Home

Best Practice Conference

One of the EUCPN's main tasks is to arrange an annual conference for sharing and disseminating experience and knowledge of best practices in preventing crime and increasing safety and security in EU Member States. The conference is always held in connection with the European Crime Prevention Award (ECPA) contest.

Policymakers, practitioners and researchers from all EU Member States, candidate countries and relevant organisations are usually present at the conference.

The conference consists of lectures and seminars and one important element is to present and discuss the projects nominated for the ECPA contest each year.

The theme for the 2011 European Crime Prevention Award and the EU Crime Prevention Network (EUCPN)'s Best Practices Annual Conference is "Sport, science and art in the crime prevention among children and youth". The EPCA and the BPC will take place in Warsaw (Poland) December 14-15, 2011.
