New Crime Prevention Method Targets Criminal Behavior at Specific Times and Places.
Situational crime prevention focuses on stopping crimes by removing opportunities and temptations for criminals. By understanding how criminals act and where they are likely to commit crimes, specific measures can be taken to prevent criminal activities. This approach involves identifying high-risk areas, predicting criminal behavior, and intervening at the right time and place to prevent crimes from happening. The main goal is to eliminate factors that make committing crimes easier and to increase security measures in vulnerable locations.
