Crime Prevention, Personal Safety and Security - most police areas maintain an up-to-date site offering advice on crime prevention, such as the following from Durham:
https://www.durham.police.uk/Information-and-advice/Crime-Prevention-Personal-Safety-and-Security/Pages/default.aspx
You may wish to consider questions such as which crimes and, indeed, which potential victims, appear to be prioritised by such sites, and why this might be the case? Would your own priorities reflect these?

The Early Intervention Foundation - acts as a focal point for evidence and policy debate about the merits of early intervention to improve children’s life chances and reduce the risks of crime:

Respect Phoneline  - where there is believed to be a risk of domestic violence, the Respect Phoneline offers advice and support to those who believe that they may be likely to perpetrate domestic abuse, or practitioners who may be working with them. The service’s website also offers additional evidence and information about the subject:
