abstract="The Policy Functional Area includes internal and external initiatives that are intended to integrate Prevention through Design (PtD) into business and governmental organizations. Research will determine what works best, practice will develop tools and implementation plans, and education will teach those who can implement PtD. Functional areas are not separated by clear and distinct boundaries. Instead there is significant overlap and interdependence.  <p></p>  <p>Prior to the Policy Functional Area breakout session, the Sector workgroups identified four major policy areas. They were:</p>  <dl> <dt>1) Cost-benefit analysis and incentives<br /> <br /> </dt>  <dt><br /> 2) Culture<br /> </dt>  <dt><br /> 3) Standards, codes, and regulations<br /> </dt>  <dt><br /> 4) Strategic alliance development<br /> </dt> </dl>  <p>In the Policy Functional Area breakout session, participants divided themselves into small groups according to these four areas. The participants were asked to brainstorm, as well as discuss barriers and initiatives for inclusion in the national strategy.</p>  <p>The purpose of this report is to summarize and briefly discuss key issues and initiatives for the above four policy topics.</p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
