Awards home page
Welcome to our awards area. Here you'll find details of all the major UK and international crime reduction and community safety awards schemes. We've tried to include details of award-winning schemes and instructions for how you can make an entry, too.
Please note that this awards page will be reviewed over the Summer. We are therefore interested in hearing from you if you know of any awards that you think should be highlighted on this page. In the first instance you should email the team at darren.kristiansen@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk with details of the award.

- Improve the system as a whole by sharing information and ideas about what works
To be eligible for an award, you must be a team or individual, working or volunteering in the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales. Further information about the award can be found by clicking here
European Crime Prevention Award
Heralded as the equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest of the criminal justice world, the European Crime Prevention Award is a contest which aims to reward the best European crime prevention project. Entries for the award are by nomination. The UK project is normally a winner of either the British Community Safety Award or the Tilley Award.
Further information on the EUCPA can be found on the European Crime Prevention Network's website.
Crime Prevention Through Design - The RSA Student Design Awards
The RSA Student Design Awards were established in 1924. Each year nearly 3,000 students from the UK and mainland Europe submit their designs for a wide variety of projects ranging from engineering design to fashion, glassware to postage stamps. Award-winning students are given the opportunity of work experience with the sponsoring companies or travel abroad.
