crime prevention

Crime prevention is recognized as any action designed to reduce the actual level of crime, perceived levels of crime, or fear of crime. Its effects are a priori (i.e., proactive techniques) to future crime. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Crime Prevention]
