In this episode of TIPS, host Julia Vellucci speaks with restorative justice expert Alana Abramson about Community Safety and Crime Prevention Month, the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, and the role communities can play in preventing harm before it happens. Drawing on over two decades of work in prisons, schools, and neighbourhoods, Alana breaks down how restorative approaches support accountability, healing, and safety as well as how Crime Stoppers’ anonymous reporting can help protect survivors and their loved ones. From recognizing early warning signs to challenging harmful norms, this episode explores how each of us can be part of creating safer, more supportive communities.
