The city has its new crime prevention council co-ordinator.
Amy Siciliano, who did extensive research on crime and neighbourhood segregation, gang-related violence, crime prevention and harm reduction in obtaining a doctorate in human geography, will officially be introduced to council on Monday.
From 2008 to 2010 Siciliano worked in Toronto at the Centre for City Ecology, tasked with building projects in neighbourhoods plagued with crime and poverty.
Siciliano began her position on Oct. 25.
Her first duties will be co-ordinating council’s crime and disorder audit, the first step in what the city hopes is a comprehensive plan for the city.
