But What Can I Do?

In these messages you’ll hear all kinds of myths, facts, tips and traps about crime and crime prevention!

You’ll hear how to keep yourself safe, tips for older people, younger people and parents, myths and traps about crime in the media and facts about how we can all play a part in preventing crime.

Some messages are funny and some are serious. You’ll hear from people who’ve experienced a crime, people who’ve committed a crime, people who work to prevent crime, and people who tell us about crime prevention and community safety.

All of this and more will help us to know the answer to the question: “But what can I do?”

This community radio project is a ground-breaking way of engaging a diverse group of listeners and informing them about crime prevention and community safety. The messages are informative, accurate, relevant and most importantly of all useful to listeners to increase their awareness of crime prevention issues.

The project is definitely 'one-of a kind' and is at the forefront of breaking new ground in the search to supply and direct important information at a community level.
