ICPC is an international forum for national governments, local authorities, public agencies, specialised institutions, and non-government organisations to exchange experience, consider emerging knowledge, and improve policies and programmes in crime prevention and community safety. It assists cities and countries to reduce delinquency, violent crime and insecurity. It helps put knowledge into action by:

* Making the knowledge base for strategic crime prevention and community safety better known and more accessible worldwide.
* Encouraging the use of good practices and tools to produce community safety.
* Fostering exchanges between countries and cities, criminal justice institutions and community-based organisations.
* Providing technical assistance and networking.

ICPC considers human security as an essential public good, and believes that integrated prevention policy and action is a key tool for safe communities. It promotes the use of research based knowledge to advance policy and action, and fosters international dialogue and exchange, respectful of differences between the diverse regions of the world, as a major tool for positive change.
