The Community Safety Knowledge Alliance (CSKA) is a Canadian non-profit research and education organization dedicated to advancing community safety and well-being across Canada.

Our mission is to conduct independent, evidence-based research on multi-sectoral approaches to community safety, and to mobilize that knowledge so it strengthens the delivery and outcomes of community safety and human services for Canadians.

In pursuit of our mission, we conduct research and mobilize knowledge in service of practitioners, policymakers, and the public. Our efforts aim to:

• Conduct and disseminate research — evidence-based findings, instructional frameworks, and synthesis reports for practitioners, policymakers, and the public, including through the Journal of Community Safety and Well-Being, CSKA’s free, open-access, peer-reviewed publication.
• Develop training and knowledge resources to build capacity among human services, public health, and safety professionals in evidence-led approaches.
• Assist governments and community organizations in improving the effectiveness, integration, and efficiency of safety and human service delivery.
• Promote safety, health, and community resilience by developing, testing, and evaluating cross-sectoral strategies that mitigate social vulnerabilities, prevent harm, reduce crime, and address the root causes of community breakdown.
