environment that provide opportunities for or
precipitate criminal acts.

1. Primary crime prevention.
2. The art and science of reducing opportunities for

crime
3. Based on new crime theories:

 Rational choice
 Routine activity
 Victims of unfair or incorrect rulings from
court often cause people to enter a life of
crime.
 Drugs are a bane, no matter how we look at them. A person
addicted to drugs is unable to support their addiction and more
often than not they end up in a life of crime to fuel their habits.
 Depression is also a major cause of crime. Other
than depression, people with grave mental disorders
also end up committing crimes.
 There are a lot of things that go on in families that often cause people to get into
a life of crime. Abuse during formative years from family members and other
such acts also instigate a person into a life of crime. People who are neglected by
their families and do not get the love and attention that they desire also get into
criminal activities. Family violence and other issues are also related to crime in
many ways.
 Regionalism is a major cause of crime and unrest among
people. Such people that harbor such regionalist feelings often
go to great lengths to commit crimes against other
communities.
 TV violence has gone up to staggering levels and it does not
help when people are influenced and try to emulate such acts of
violence. TV violence is a major cause of crime especially
among younger people that are unable to differentiate between
fiction and reality.
 Discrimination based on race is a serious issue all around the
world. All humans are in a way racist towards some people in
some part of the world or another.
 Politics is often a cause of crime. It is seen that many political
associations all around the world have their own mafias
running which they use to manipulate and subjugate people.
 Economic deprivation or simply poverty is a major cause of
crime all around the world. People are often driven to great
lengths of desperation by poverty and this is a major cause of
crime all around the world.
 Increase in population is the biggest cause of crime and much of the world’s
worries. Although population increase is related to each and every cause
mentioned here, it still needs to be looked at as a cause of crime. The
increase of population triggers of a dynamo effect in society and this leads
to the creation of more people with some form of frustration or resentment
towards society as such.
1. Change people’s criminal motivations
2. Reduce opportunities for crime

1. Work with your local public agencies and other
organizations (neighborhood-based or community-wide)
on solving common problems.
2. Set up a Neighborhood Watch or a community patrol,

working with police. Make sure your streets and homes are
well lit.
3. Report any crime or suspicious activity immediately to

the police.
4. Adopt a school. Help students, faculty, and staff promote a sense of
community through your involvement in a wide range of programs
and activities. Work with the school to establish drug-free, gun-free
zones if they don’t already exist.
5. Mentor young people who need positive support from adults—through
programs like Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
6. Create a community anti-violence competition. Include speech, dance,
painting, drawing, singing, musical instrument acting, and other
creative arts. Get young people involved to plan it and suggest prizes.
Make it a fun, local celebration. You can hold it in a local park, and even
include an old-fashioned potluck.
7. Support organizations that help make communities safer, like
the national crime prevention council.
Criminal opportunity is reduced by:
 Increasing the effort involved in crime by making
the targets harder to get at or hindering the
commission of crime (e.g., target hardening, access
control, exit and entrance screening)
 Increasing the risks, whether real or perceived, of
detection and apprehension (e.g., surveillance,
screening, profiling)
 Reducing the rewards of crime, (e.g., target
removal, property marking, merchandise ink-tags)
