Notes:	This paper, presented at the Reducing Criminality: Partnerships and Best Practice Conference, outlines the concept of prevention of violence against women and children and provides a background to the development of crime prevention programmes, highlighting the failure of both theoretical and practical approaches to address the issue of family violence. Emphasising a holistic, interagency response to the reduction of criminality, the NSW Strategy to Reduce Violence Against Women is described and utilised as an example of such an approach. Some of the practicalities associated with the development of an interagency response to reducing violence against women are discussed, such as the necessity of lionising with major stakeholders and the need for coordination of service responses at both a local and regional level. The adoption of a feminist framework in planning and implementing future crime prevention policy is advocated.
