‘Russian Community Crime Prevention Project’, is an intervention project in Melbourne targeting Australian-Russian families.

It is funded by the National Community Crime Prevention Program, an Australian Government Initiative. The Project began its activity in May 2007.

The Project target groups include Russian-speaking seniors, those who suffer from domestic violence (mainly women and their children), youth, unemployed and newly-arrived migrants.

The Project activities involve:

• Running of self-support groups for interested community members
• Provision of individual outreach services, offering support, information and referral to victims of domestic violence.
