Crime prevention: what the evidence reveals
Abstract
Crime follows opportunity. It may be prevented by instilling respect for the law, regulating behaviour, and protecting people and property with security measures. There are three levels of prevention: stop the problem before it happens; identify potential offenders and intervene; and criminal justice system intervention after offence is committed.
