Effective Crime Prevention

The principles of prevention

Undertake a needs analysis
- Identify most significant local crime problem(s)
- What, where, who, when, how?
- Identify causation(s) as far as possible
- Determine current responses
- Identify gaps in existing action
Propose a response using evidence-based practice

Problem analysis triangle.

Problem analysis exercise

Consider the problem of theft of Consider the problem of theft of vehicles in your local communities vehicles in your local communities
Conduct a ‘virtual’ problem analysis Conduct a ‘virtual’ problem analysis
Having identified your victims, Having identified your victims, offenders and locations, consider who offenders and locations, consider who your guardians, handlers and your guardians, handlers and managers may be managers may be
This will identify who you may need This will identify who you may need to work with in order to achieve your to work with in order to achieve your goals goals

Types of intervention

Criminality Prevention - focuses on offenders by tackling the ‘risk factors’ linked to offending e.g. poor parenting

Situational prevention - aims to deter/detect crime by making it difficult, increasing risks, reducing rewards e.g. CPTED

Law enforcement - aims to deter, detect and rehabilitate offenders

Types of Intervention – Criminality Prevention

A range of established factors exist which increase the risk of people becoming involved in offending

Criminality reduction aims to reduce these risk factors to decrease likelihood of people becoming offenders

Strengths

Offences don’t take place
Targets those most in need
Range of positive outcomes

Weaknesses

Requires accurate targetting
Outcomes are long term
Stigma for young people?

Criminality Reduction - Risk factors

Family

harsh or erratic discipline
parental criminality
family conflict
low income
social isolation

Community

high crime rate
disorganisation
high child density

Criminality Prevention - Discussion

Identify any criminality prevention project
Is the project targeting the right people?
Is it working and how do you know?

Types of Intervention – Situational Prevention

Aims to deter or detect offenders by:

Making crime more difficult
Increasing the risk
Reducing rewards
Designing the problem away

Strengths

Very immediate results
Causation is clearer
Relatively low cost

Weaknesses

Less effective in some offences
Action is after the fact
Can be overcome

Types of Intervention – Tertiary Prevention

Aims to improve enforcement approaches and work with offenders to reduce their offending

Reduce levels of recidivism

Concentrate on ‘prolific’ offenders

Strengths

Very targetted
High relative impact
Other social benefits

Weaknesses

After the fact
Cannot address all crime
High cost

Tertiary Prevention - Brainstorm

Name one tertiary programme you know which has been successful in reducing crime.
How do you know it is successful?
Why is it successful?

What does the CPU support?

Activity that makes your community safer

Demonstrable impacts
Activity that reduces crime
Activity that reduces the risk of crime within specific groups
