"The organisation of crime prevention began in earnest in Denmark well over 30 years ago. As society developed in the 1960’s with a marked rise in the number of offences being committed, it was necessary to find new ways of preventing crime. The Crime Prevention Council was set up to take initiatives that could prevent crimes being committed. In the first few years the main emphasis was on technical security measures, but the scope of the Council’s work has increased considerably since then. This brochure describes the organisation of the Council, whose many member organisations play a pivotal role in all the prevention work." (Quoted from paper)
