    Study Notes

    Crime Prevention Strategies and Best Practices

    • Crime prevention is defined as all private and state policies aimed at reducing damage from acts defined as criminal by the state.
    • Prevention involves addressing causes upstream, rather than waiting downstream to address symptoms through criminal justice reactions.
    • Prevention can be primary, secondary, or tertiary, whether environmental or social.
    • Responsibility for crime prevention can be attributed to both police and society, while social groups and motivation are the causes of crimes.
    • Crime prevention models include crime prevention through environmental design, situational crime prevention, and social crime prevention.
    • Environmental prevention strategies involve urban planning and architecture, natural surveillance, and defensible space.
    • Situational crime prevention rests on the rational choice theory of offending and comprises highly specific, permanent measures that work on opportunity reduction.
    • Social crime prevention focuses on underlying problems in values and social disciplines that make some people more likely to commit crimes.
    • Community development and educational approaches are also used in crime prevention strategies.
    • CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) key concepts include adequate lighting, clear sightlines, clear ownership of space, avoidance of entrapment spots, clear signage, and generating activities for natural surveillance.
    • Situational prevention measures include escape routes, appropriate materials, and adequate management and maintenance.
    • Social prevention approaches can be classified as community development, diversion approaches, and educational approaches, and can bring about change through mass publicity and targeted programs.
