#crimepreventionmethods #modernlawenforcement #criminology Crime prevention and control strategies refer to society's attempts to curb crimes before they can occur, rather than punishing them after they have been committed. There are three main crime prevention strategies: Situational crime prevention Social and community-based crime prevention Environmental crime prevention Situational crime prevention attempts to reduce opportunities to commit crimes and make it more difficult to break the law. It looks at the types of offences people commit, the places where they offend, and aims to prevent them at the point of their intersection. It is a pre-emptive strategy. Examples of situational crime prevention An example of situational crime prevention is what is known as target hardening - implementing barriers such as door and window locks, CCTV, security personnel. Social and community crime prevention focuses on individual criminal offenders and the social context within which they offend. (Social Factors) It aims to pinpoint and treat the causes of the crime rather than the symptoms. Strategies usually include grouping individuals who are more likely to commit crimes and intervening in some form. Proponents of this method assert that the risk conditions of crime such as poverty, unemployment etc., need to be urgently addressed to truly eradicate crime. Environmental crime prevention relies on the idea that physical signs of disorder or crime give off the impression that there is low social control/enforcement, which attracts and encourages criminal activity. (Social Disorganization theory) (Social Control theory) Environmental crime prevention is based on right realism, specifically Wilson and Kelling's (1982) 'Broken Windows' theory.
