The Scottish Health Survey 2019 covers many different issues, from
Smoking to Mental Health and the environment. Community Safety is an area that crosses policy boundaries and it is important to recognise the impact of other policy decisions on the safety of individuals and communities. Although Community Safety is sometimes criticised for straddling multiple, and sometime contrasting policy areas, this could also be its strength, an opportunity for new networks, partnerships and
collaboration.

We have produced this Briefing Paper for the benefit of those working in the community safety sector. Download the Briefing Paper here.
