Bank of Canada's New Retail Fraud Prevention Tool Kit

The Bank of Canada and its Partner's Against Fraud have developed a new DVD based training tool called "Fighting Fraud on the Front Lines" The tool kit combines scenarios and video segments to demonstrate how criminals use payment instruments and personal information to defraud retailers and consumers. Tip sheets provide you with a knowledge base to avoid becoming a victim.

Models of Practice

The SafeGrowth Model

This is a time when the fear and incidence of crime is once again on the rise in many communities. It is also a time when we see the emergence of alternative ways to build neighborhoods and lead civic affairs. In urban development, strategies such as new urbanism, bioregionalism, eco-villages, and smart growth lead the way into the 21st Century. However, in spite of attempts to integrate crime prevention into the planning and administration of cities, the vast majority of contemporary programs remain fragmentary and secondary to neighborhood life.
