How Crime Prevention Promote Community Safety Tim Haynes Liberty University How Crime Prevention Promotes Community Safety Introduction Crime is defined as the action that is committed in violation of the law. Therefore, crime prevention involves the measures put in place to curb people’s deviant behavior that leads to crimes such as illegal drug use and trafficking, which is a typical case in both developing and developed countries. The impacts of crime in society are diverse, including death. The rise in crime rate results in a reduction in community safety; thus, the various crime-prevention measures can help promote community safety in several ways. Crawford & Evans (2017) critically evaluate crime prevention as ‘preventive turn’ that are aimed at avoiding an anticipated crime from happening. They further argue that whenever there are standardized rules in place, there is an awareness of the consequences of breaking the law, and this may reduce the cases of crime. Prevention is not only physical but also psychological. A secure community cultivates development and any attempt at fighting crime is a positive step at realizing such potentials. Progress in any social institution will solely depend on the available safety strategies in place. A secure environment utilizes all the opportunities needed for development. Lawrence et al. (2002) evaluate crime prevention patterns emphasizing the family as a primary social institution. They argue that individual character is cultivated at the family level. Parents should be tolerant and careful in the manner of education available for their children and what behaviors they come into contact with. Clarke (1995) argues that the various crimes are associated with risks and difficulties that prevent the members of the society from benefitting from the rewards of a secure community. They further explain that there is a need to understand the theoretical framework and the approaches to identifying and preventing crime. As Robert et al. (2012) assert, the identification and successful prevention of an anticipated crime positively impact the economic sector of society. As a result, there need to be useful measures to do away with violent crimes. They substantially prove that any secure society will benefit in terms of economic development. Conclusion In conclusion, crime prevention promotes security among the members of the community. The family has been identified as the primary source of association in the community. Lawrence (2002) emphasizes the need to pay attention to the kind of knowledge that the children are exposed to. Also, Clarke (1995) advices that the responsible shareholders find the effective means of solving anticipatory crimes to ensure the future safety of the community. Generally, security and social harmony are mandatory for any community that is in want of development. References Clarke, R. (1995). Situational Crime Prevention.
