How is safety defined in this context?
Safety is the ability to pursue domestic, social and economic life without fear or hindrance of crime or disorder. Building and maintaining community safety requires a whole of community approach with residents, visitors, businesses and all levels of government working together to support a safe and inclusive environment for all.
Feelings or perceptions of safety refers to an individual’s subjective level of comfort or safety and their perception of risk. A person’s perception of safety is real to them regardless of their actual risk.
