ABOUT back to social crime prevention
Crime prevention triangle:
Situational Crime prevention focuses on reducing the opportunity to commit a crime (increasing the difficulty of crime, reducing the rewards). One of the problems of this is that, for example, if a property has installed an alarm and other security devices, the burglar will go to another property without this protection, so the crime doesn´t disappear. It is displaced to another area.
Social Crime Prevention focuses on reducing the desire to commit a crime, by focusing on the social and economic conditions that contribute to criminal behaviour.
The aim of this website is to provide education and information to:
- Desire
- Ability
- Opportunity
