| Community and Crime Prevention— METZILA |
|
|
|
|
The Ministry's Community and Crime Prevention Division, or as it is better known to the Israeli public, Metzilah, was established to promote and reinforce the stance of communities against violence, by bringing about improved coordination between the community’s organizations along with greater involvement and activism on the part of its residents.
Working in cooperation with local government authorities, government ministries, and other community agencies, Metzilah to date has set up and is currently operating anti-violence projects for children, teenagers and adults in more than forty towns, Jewish and Arab, from Kiryat Shemona in the far north to Arad in the south.
The topic of violence in general and juvenile violence in particular continues to feature on the public agenda. In order to counter these phenomena, Metzila operates programs to prevent violence among children, youth and adults. The programs are run in kindergartens, in schools and in the community at large.
The division is funded by the Israeli Government and operates in approximately 76 communities and youth villages throughout Israel. Over 11,000 youth have benefited from Metzila programs during 2007.
