Document Summary
Defining crime prevention : ambiguity and elasticity in the crawford reading, crime prevention has increased as has community safety and no one seems to know what these terms means and are difficult to define. Crime prevention is ambiguous, and a fuzzy term and boundaries are exceedingly unclear. Domestic violence there hasn"t been initiatives behind trying to prevent it. Similarly, there is no such thing as corporate crime prevention. Crawford reading: crime prevention is often around the words of security and safety. Some people view the death penalty as a crime prevention, and abortion. From death as a crime prevention, to situational crime prevention. This can be understood as a label for diverse aspirations and outcomes deploy fixed objections in mind. Crime prevention is not a thing; it is an idea and a problem put into practice; hence it being so slippery to define.
