Crime Prevention

Preventing crime is a purpose that can unite neighborhoods and communities, which involves everyone in the community putting aside egos to focus energies in positive ways, builds partnerships, reduces crime and fear, and makes communities more vital.  Preventing crime adapts to local needs and circumstances, saves money and heartache, and frees up resources to meet other community needs. 

Crime prevention is not a single program but an approach that both deters crime and enhances community health.  It provides know-how for individuals, neighborhoods, or whole cities; it addresses the physical and social needs of communities, from re-designing streets to formulating social programs.

A community is a gathering of people who live in the same area or who share interests.  A residential neighborhood, a high-rise, apartment or office building, a school, a faith-based organization, a professional society or a civic network can be a community. Our definitions of community have shifted to encompass more than just the place of residence which has made the idea of community even more important.
