• Introduction
  Since 1990 the Independent Projects Trust (IPT) has often worked on projects which have necessitated our working with multiple stakeholders and many of these projects have been around peace-building within communities and have often required the development of joint strategies to reduce crime and violence. Through these numerous projects we have learnt a key lesson - a multi agency approach to issues of crime and violence works. It was this lesson, reinforced by a recent successful project and attendance at a workshop hosted by the World Council of Churches "Peace to the City" Network, that gave rise to this issue of insight.
