. THE REPORT RECOMMENDED THAT THE A.C.T. ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE (A.C.T. REGION) UNDERTAKE FURTHER RESEARCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REPORT'S STUDY FINDINGS.

THE POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT SECTION OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE CRIME DATA SERIES FOR THE A.C.T. AND A CAPACITY FOR MAPPING AND ANALYSING THAT DATA.

. THE REPORT RECOMMENDED THAT A REVIEW BE UNDERTAKEN OF THE RELEVANT FUNCTIONS OF A.C.T. GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS IN LIGHT OF THE PROPOSED COMMUNITY SAFETY POLICIES IN SECTION 7 OF THE REPORT, PARTICULARLY THE PLANNING, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND PLACES.

STRUCTURAL CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE A.C.T. GOVERNMENT (NOTABLY IN THE CITY SERVICES GROUP OF THE DEPARTMENT OF URBAN SERVICES ) DURING 1995 HAVE REFLECTED MANY OF THE SAFETY PRINCIPLES ESPOUSED IN THE REPORT. A CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY SAFETY UNIT (IN ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT), THE PRECINCT MANAGEMENT SECTION, CITY SERVICES (IN THE DEPARTMENT OF URBAN SERVICES) AND THE SOCIAL PLANNING UNIT (IN ACT PLANNING AUTHORITY). THIS EFFECTIVELY MEANS THAT THE MESSAGE OF CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN IS BEING SPREAD INCREMENTALLY THROUGHOUT THE A.C.T.
