The Centre for Crime Prevention and Safety (CCV)
The CCV, the Dutch center for crime prevention and safety, stimulates and supports private and public partners in crime prevention and safety.
Objectives
The center's website has two main objectives.
Firstly, the public website of CCV provides a key way to exchange knowledge
of policy and practice, to offer good instruments, and to develop a shared work
standard focused on care and professionalism.
Secondly, CCV wants to be open, thorough and clear in its communication style
and content.
The Center is an initiative of:
- The Dutch Ministry of Justice;
- The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
- The Dutch Association of Insurers;
- The Confederation of Dutch Industry and Employers (known as VNO-NCW);
- The Association of Dutch Municipalities;
- and The Council of head commissioners (of police).
CCV is using Hippo CMS for maintaining the CCV website. The website holds a large amount of files, archived by subject. Hippo provided editors with structure and templates, to make sure that all information is organized in the same way for different media. Hippo CMS is based on open standards which makes it easier to 'cooperate' with different databases and applications used throughout the organization.
