CRIME PREVENTION IS:
Being aware that a crime CAN occur; ANTICIPATING the type, location, or time; and TAKING ACTION to reduce the chance of it happening.
While control over DESIRE and ABILITY rests solely with the suspect, you can have considerable impact on a third element necessary for crime to occur — OPPORTUNITY.
Crime prevention is largely using instinct, action, and common sense to eliminate (or greatly reduce) a criminal’s opportunity. Your responsibility lies in removing opportunity to decrease the likelihood of becoming a victim.
Crime prevention requires a holistic approach involving every member of the community. The collective actions of everyone within a neighborhood are vital to success.
