Urban Safety and Crime Prevention
S. Akbar Zaidi Karachi, Pakistan wrote ...
The theme for this year's World Habitat Day, is Safer Cities, perhaps in acknowledgment of the growing concern about escalating urban violence, crime and insecurity amongst residents of cities around the globe. As a worldwide phenomenon, urban violence is believed to have grown by between three to five percent a year over the last twenty years, with certain cities showing significant variations at different times.

Homicide, infanticide, assault, rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence now make up between 25 and 30 percent of urban crime in many countries'
