A CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW OF THE PHILOSOPHY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CRIME PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR BUSINESS AND HOMES.
Abstract
THROUGH THE DRAMATIZATION OF A CRIME SITUATION THIS FILM POINTS OUT THE VALUE OF EMPLOYING CRIME PREVENTION TECHNIQUES. THE NEED FOR A CRIME PREVENTION APPROACH, OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF CRIME PREVENTION BUREAUS, AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY IN REDUCING CRIMINAL OPPORTUNITY ARE DISCUSSED. SUCH CRIME PREVENTION METHODS AS THE IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTY WITH ENGRAVED NUMBERS, SECURITY SURVEYS OF HOMES, OR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS ARE ALSO PRESENTED. HARDWARE CONCEPTS, TARGET HARDENING, AND GROUP MEETINGS ARE CONSIDERED AS WELL. THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THIS FILM MAY BE USED FOR BOTH LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING AND CITIZEN EDUCATION.
