Situational crime prevention dominates as key strategy for crime prevention.
The study discusses how situational crime prevention (SCP) has had a big impact on crime prevention strategies. SCP focuses on reducing opportunities for specific crimes, and it has been found to be more influential in practice compared to other strategies. The chapter looks at how environmental criminology has contributed to preventing crime through SCP and its classification system. Research shows that SCP is effective in reducing specific types of crime by focusing on changing the environment to make it harder for crimes to happen.
