Prosecution agencies can play an important role in the development and implementation of their State’s crime prevention strategies. Given their experience in prosecuting cases involving violence against women and girls, prosecutors can contribute their understanding of the gendered or risk factors associated with crime and victimization and how and whether different crime prevention strategies actually promote the safety of women and girls. They also are involved in participating in public awareness endeavours and training directed at school and college populations.
