Abstract
The 16th International Conference on Safe Communities was held in Tehran, Iran from 11 to 13 June 2007. The conference was hosted by the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion, the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and the newly established International Society for Violence and Injury Prevention. This annual event was hosted for the first time in a Middle Eastern country, and was accordingly considered to be a historic and opportune platform for the profiling of safety promotion research, practice and policy initiatives across the region, and particularly within Iran itself.
