Crime Prevention Tools

According to the National Crime Prevention Institute, the formal definition of Crime Prevention is: the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk, and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it.

Obviously, we cannot eliminate a criminal's desire to commit crimes, nor can we take away 1's skills to commit a crime, however Crime Prevention can remove the opportunity. Without an opportunity to commit a crime, the criminal is forced to go elsewhere. There are many resources and tools available to the public to help with crime prevention in the community
