Abstract:

Violent crimes against public transit bus operators and passengers in Michigan were studied. The study was funded by the Michigan Department of Transportation and conducted by the University of Michigan in early 1999. A survey approach examined transit passenger perceptions of numerous transit-related crime reduction measures, primarily patrol and security, design actions, and technological innovation. The respondents ranked emergency telephones for passengers and increased lighting as the best crime prevention measures. The survey was part of a wider study that also surveyed transit agencies and transit vehicle operators.

Abstract:

The occurrence of the top five crimes in Korea has been steadily decreasing over the past decade. The crime rate in this country is low at the global level, but the problem is that as society becomes more stable, the need for safety increases and social anxiety about crime increases. There have been many changes since the introduction of Crime Prevention Environment Design (CPTED) to Korea in the 1990s to spatially prevent such crimes. One of them is to reorganize the crime prevention environment design legally and institutionally. Since the provision of crime prevention environment design was newly established in the Building Act in 2004, crime prevention environment design guidelines for each local government have been newly established. This reflects the urgent need for a design guideline that reflects the characteristics of each region, but it was analyzed that some local governments have not yet created a crime prevention environment design guideline. In addition, the purpose of the guidelines developed by each local government was not clear in some cases, and it was found that there were many insufficient guidelines for use in the field. Safety in the country should be the first policy direction, and in order to respond to this, the crime prevention environment design guidelines should be continuously newly established and revised in the future. To this end, we tried to find problems by analyzing the production status of each local government's crime prevention environment design guidelines.

Abstract:

This current study examines the perception of safety on the public bus transit system in a large Brazilian metropolis. Using a web-based survey, the study reached a convenient sample of bus users of a local university who were victims and witnesses to crime in two different types of local bus transit environments - the BRT MOVE - a modern bus system and its opposing counterpart - the conventional bus system. Research questions investigate whether or not riders’ perception of safety is influenced by the presence of mechanisms of control and surveillance on buses. Using a linear regression model, this study hypothesizes that the perception of safety among victims and/or witnesses to crime varies according to exposure to risk in different bus transit systems. Limitations of the results were addressed and reliability and validity issues were reviewed. This study demonstrates the relevance of different types of risk factors on riders’ perception of safety on buses, bus stops, and stations. This contributes to widening the range of public transit safety solutions in Brazil.

Abstract:

Fieldwork in the inner-Sydney postcode area of Glebe (New South Wales, Australia) sought to understand how local community workers conceptualise crime causation and the approaches adopted to prevent crime. Observation of more than 30 inter-agency meetings, 15 interviews and two focus groups with diverse local workers revealed that social-welfare or ‘root’ causes of crime were central to explanations of local crime. Numerous crime prevention measures in the area respond directly to these understandings of crime (a youth diversion program on Friday and Saturday evenings, an alternative education program, a police-youth exercise program, and so on). While other more surveillant forms of crime prevention were evident, the findings of this research suggest a significant social-welfare orientation to crime prevention. These findings echo Brown’s (2012) observations of the resilience of penal-welfarism in Australia.

Abstract:

In many jurisdictions around the world, community safety and crime prevention activity is supported by interagency committees. In the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), local government Community Safety Officers (CSOs) lead, support or participate in a range of interagency and ‘whole of government’ networks, most of which were established to support central NSW state government crime prevention and community safety initiatives. Research was conducted with the aim of exploring the CSOs’ experience of the ‘whole of government’ partnerships established to support community safety and crime prevention in NSW.[i] The findings support international research which suggests that central-local partnerships are inhibited by different agendas, responsibilities and power dynamics across different levels of government. Some of the key contextual challenges for this work include concerns about costs shifting from State to local government and about shifting State government priorities; barriers to funding and to accessing crime (and other) data; and various administrative burdens. Consequently, we argued that there is a need for formal engagement and negotiation between, on the one hand, State government agencies that steer NSW crime prevention and, on the other, community safety policy initiatives and local government. Such engagement could help overcome the perception, indeed the reality, that shifting and dumping costs and responsibilities to local government is creating a range of burdens for CSOs. [i] The authors thank the NSW Local Government Community Safety and Crime Prevention Network and the individual local government CSOs who kindly assisted and contributed to this research.

Abstract:

Huh Koungmi(Keimyung University) The purpose of this study was to examine the crime prevention strategies developed and implemented by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the United States in line with the aging and depopulation of rural areas, and to find ways to supplement and apply them to rural areas in Korea. As a crime prevention strategy in rural areas, the UN Secretariat for Drug Crimes presented local-based crime prevention strategies, life development crime prevention strategies, situational crime prevention strategies, and reintegration strategies as action strategies. In the case of the United States, the federal government, each state government, criminal justice agencies, including local police departments, and regional researchers developed various rural crime prevention strategies together, complementing each other and disseminating it. Representative rural crime prevention strategies include hotspot policing strategy, problemoriented policing, ACTION, Police-Mental Health Provider Co-Responder Model, outreach using social media, and support for criminal recovery through Offender Review Board. This study can be used as a security policy to promote the safety of rural residents, and is expected to trigger follow-up research in related fields.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the local dimensions of the “crime decline”. Design/methodology/approach – Two focus groups and 15 semi-structured interviews with local practitioners. Findings – Some offences have fallen significantly in the case study site in the last ten to 12 years. Local practitioners tended to explain these declines with reference to local services and programmes. These declines have potentially contributed to the reduction in crime prevention infrastructure and there is concern that funding will be reduced as crime falls. Research limitations/implications – The findings have been generated from a single case study site. While aspects of the findings resonate beyond the case study area, there are some characteristics of the site that limit the application of the findings to other areas. Practical implications – The findings from this research have few practical implications. The research sought to understand dimensions of local crime and the impact on local activities. Social implications – This research provides some insights into crime trends and local responses to crime. The findings will be of interest to crime prevention and community safety practitioners and policy makers. Originality/value – There has been little analysis of the impact of the “crime decline” on local communities and community safety infrastructure. Therefore this paper is original and adds to the growing knowledge of the “crime decline”.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to understand the delivery of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) across Europe – from European-wide procedures through national schemes to effective local strategies. Design/methodology/approach The findings come from a review of published literature and reports, case studies and site visits conducted primarily during COST Action TU1203 (2013-2016). Findings Innovative approaches and methods to integrate crime prevention into urban design, planning and management have been generated by multi-agency partnerships and collaborations at European, national and city levels. Methods and procedures developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Working Group on “Crime Prevention through Urban Planning and Building Design” are pioneering. However, findings show that implementation is best achieved at a local level using methods and procedures tailored to the specific context. Research limitations/implications In-depth research is required to appreciate subtle differences between local approaches and conceptual models developed to better understand approaches and methods. Practical implications Practitioners and academics working to prevent crime benefit from participation in focused, multi-agency collaborations that, importantly, facilitate visits to urban developments, discussions with local stakeholders responsible for delivery “on the ground” and structured and sustained exploration of innovations and challenges. Originality/value The authors hope that this paper will contribute to developing a new direction for CPTED practice and research that builds on significant progress in creating safer environments over previous decades.

Abstract:

Under today’s conditions, humanity and all social and state formations, including Ukraine, as part of the world order, is experiencing many changes: we are in a radically new political, economic, spiritual and ideological situation compared to the end of the twentieth century; its main features are socio-economic stagnation, political, cultural, educational and moral-psychological uncertainty, activation of old and the emergence of new stressors at the level of both individual and group (and even mass) consciousness. The complexity and contradictions of socio-economic and political development of our country necessitate the theoretical understanding and development of scientifically sound tools with which to make more effective the process of social interaction, non-criminogenic development of society, crime prevention and counteraction. Without theoretical knowledge that directly serves a specific state-building practice, it is impossible to fulfill a strategic task - to build a democratic state and civil society in Ukraine. Scientists rightly point out that the current criminal situation is characterized by new types of crime, dynamism of development, unpredictability of changes, spread of organized forms and professionalism and the inability of the state to resist corruption necessitates the effectiveness of the fight against crime. The purpose of this article is to study the objects of crime and corruption prevention, to determine their essential characteristics and to separate them from other objects of social reality. The methodological basis of the work is the dialectical method, the application of which allows to study the object and subject of research in their epistemological unity, relationship, as well as differences. The technique used in writing the article consists of several basic methods of scientific knowledge. Using the historical method, historical and general theoretical questions of the essence of the object of crime prevention and corruption are clarified. The use of methods of analysis and synthesis made it possible to separate the objects of prevention from other objects of social reality - this was also facilitated by the use of the structural-functional method. These methods also allowed to investigate the theoretical views on the nature and elements of the object of crime and corruption prevention. The logical-semantic method was used to determine the relationships and mutual influences of crime prevention and corruption objects with other objects. Scientific abstraction and generalization of scientific and theoretical information as a process of establishing general properties and signs, allowed to reach and formulate final conclusions on the subject of research. Based on the considerations set out in the article, it can be noted that the objects of preventive influence on the prevention of crime and corruption are negative phenomena and processes of reality of material or spiritual nature, which lead to causes and conditions conducive to crime. This should keep in mind the properties that are common to such objects, namely: criminogenicity; dynamism; potentiality; latency. Separate objects are objects of victimological influence. Information sources of various origins are covered, which testify to the origins of mass, group, individual victimization and the presence of dangerous victimhood at these levels, to which the theory and practice of victimological crime prevention are directed. , and the special objects of victimological prevention are social and psychological factors of victimization and victimhood as objects of preventive victimological influence at the individual level. Specific objects are the objects of influence in the prevention of corruption, which include: corruption-causing factors; corruption risks in the activities of public authorities, local governments, legal entities of public and private law and their officials; illegal behavior of officials and officials of public authorities and local governments. Thus, a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the nature of criminogenic objects, their scientific, historical and epistemological research will serve as a basis for understanding the danger of this social phenomenon and finding appropriate effective methods, tools and measures to influence it. The state must prevent crime by influencing certain criminogenic objects, which in essence will be the object of crime and corruption prevention at various levels of preventive activities – general social, special criminological, individual, as well as in the implementation of victim prevention measures

Abstract:

Whether newly implemented public transit stations influence the nearby crime pattern has been debated for years. In ZG City, China, 2 new subway lines and 20 new stations were implemented in 2017. This intervention allows us to test the plausible relationship between new public transit stations and thefts in the surrounding areas. We use the difference-in-differences (DID) model to assess the theft in the treatment and control areas before and after the implementation of the new stations, with necessary socioeconomic and land-use variables and time from the addition of the station being controlled. We also explicitly examine the impacts of the proximity of the stations and the Spring Festival on theft. The results suggest the following: (1) theft around the new subway stations significantly increases after the stations’ implementation, while the control area does not see much change in thefts; (2) proximity between the neighboring stations’ increases thefts; and (3) theft near the new stations significantly decreases during the month of the Spring Festival. This study contributes to the literature on the relationship between the subway system and crime, especially from a Chinese perspective. The finding of the research can bring insights to urban transit planning, allocation of the police force, and crime prevention.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to examine gun violence prevention practices among urban police in the USA, assessing their scope, effectiveness, limitations, and impacts.Design/methodology/approachA national survey was conducted with police agencies serving cities of 100,000 or more people.FindingsStrategies used most frequently and rated as most effective include targeted efforts focussed on high‐risk places and groups, as well as multi‐agency problem‐solving efforts, particularly those involving federal authorities. However, most agencies make limited use of proactive strategies to reduce gun crime, and there are substantial gaps in the enforcement of many gun laws. Results also suggest that gun crime is lower in places where police engage in more intensive gun‐related enforcement and prevention efforts.Research limitations/implicationsThe survey focussed only on large US cities. Implementation of the strategies could not be examined in detail, and assessments of the effectiveness of strategies reflect the views of practitioners. There is a need for more in‐depth research on gun‐related enforcement and prevention practices, their effectiveness, and the organizational and environmental factors that facilitate or hinder them.Practical implicationsThe study highlights strategies that should be given priority consideration in policy decisions. The findings also suggest that police efforts to address gun crime can be enhanced considerably – and that doing so may produce demonstrable reductions in gun crime. Further examination of policy changes necessary to facilitate these efforts is warranted.Originality/valueThis study represents the first national survey of gun violence reduction efforts by police in the USA.

Abstract:

Transit stops usually correlate with high human and crime activities. Having obtained information from transport facility managers and users, this study explores crime prevention and perception of safety at Nigerian Bus stations. This study compares and contrasts the perceptions of users and transport service managers in relation to selected bus stations (Ring road and Uselu) in Benin City as a case study. From the perception of the managers, it was believed that both bus stations observed design principles for crime prevention but that of ring road was planned more effectively than Uselu. This suggests that ring road bus stations should be perceived to be safer. Surprisingly, this was not as the users felt the other bus station was slightly safer. An assessment of landuses within 150m radius to each bus station showed that ring road station is someway in close proximity to several landuses likely to generate, attract, and facilitate crime. Hence, we speculate that the activity generated from these landuses may have negatively influenced perceived feeling of safety at this terminal. These findings thus, suggest that the surrounding environment acts to mediate perception of safety and effectiveness of crime prevention strategies of a site. The study therefore, concludes that safety and security planning of a place could be applied better by considering not only the security strategies but also the immediate surrounding environment.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to explore existing insights on the use of Community Policing Forums (CPFs) for crime prevention, focusing on the Brooklyn police station in South Africa. With the adoption of the phenomenological research design and the qualitative research approach, about Ten (10) participants were selected purposively at the Brooklyn police station, various data collection methods, such as the documentary sources and unstructured face-to-face interviews, aided with the application of direct observation technique was employed. The inductive Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) was employed for data analysis. The findings of this study revealed that the larger part of Brooklyn police station’s officials portrays a professional image despite this demanding career. However, participation on the ground level based on crime prevention actions is not always viable. By utilising the consulted studies and empirical data, three (03) recommendations for policy intervention are made. Firstly, respective communities should urgently avoid paying for the crime prevention private services to provide detailed crime information to the local SAPS. Secondly, the local ‘Private Security Companies’ should collaborate with the CPFs and SAPS to aid the failing crime prevention responsibilities, while working on the restoration of SAPS’s trust by the local community members. Thirdly, the SAPS management should consider persuasive strategies such as frequent education and training of community members and their officials [Undergoing refresher courses], relating to community safety initiatives and implementations of legislative frameworks and policies.

Abstract:

In the scholarship of crime prevention, little is understood regarding the prompts for individual observation and classification of local crime problems. Moreover, studies that evaluate individuals’ perceptions of crime tend to emphasise the risk of victimisation rather than the probability of crime controller behaviour. In order to predict whether and how a community resident combats neighbourhood crime and disorder, we first require a greater understanding of how individuals recognise and categorise those same neighbourhood phenomena. To explore these processes, the current project uses large-scale multilevel survey data from the Australian Community Capacity Study to test the predictive influence of individual characteristics, local social processes, and suburb features on a resident’s identification and categorisation of minor, moderate, and major neighbourhood crime problems. Results indicate that lived experiences with prior victimisation and interactions with the police, greater frequencies of neighbouring behaviours but lower levels of collective efficacy, socioeconomic disadvantage, and ethnic homogeneity are all associated with a greater likelihood of reporting serious local crime problems.

Abstract:

Community policing relations and partnership among law enforcement aim at crime regulation and management in Nigeria with reference to Nasarawa state, Obi Local Government Area. The study sought to identify community policing and law enforcement in crime prevention; combatting and the problems solving associates with community policing in crime prevention and partnership among law enforcement. Survey design was adopted and Questionnaire were administered. Frequency and percentages were used to describe the responses from respondents which shows that 3.56% was targeted sample from the population, out of 46 of the respondents, representing 29.5% described community policing as very effective mechanism of crime prevention in the study area. As well out of 45 respondents, 28 of the respondents representing 62.22% agreed quality information determined law enforcement and community policing responses on crime prevention. This implies that community policing is an appropriate tool for crime regulation and management. Chi-square based measure was used to examine the relationship between and among the variables and test of hypotheses. Analysis of the study revealed that community policing and police law enforcement in crime prevention has strengthen relationships of the community and the police amongst others. Furthermore, community policing and law enforcement in crime prevention faces inadequate funding, lack of enough physical structures, poor management and logistics to be some of the major problems affecting community policing and police crime prevention. The study concludes and recommends that community policing and law enforcement should be strengthening to curb crime in society. There should also be motivated to enhance effective management of crime and collaboration between the police and community.

Abstract:

A renewed interest in understanding the relationship of the built environment with neighborhood crime patterns has encouraged researchers to utilize novel methods (e.g., risk terrain modeling) to better examine the influence of environmental risk factors on types of crime. The current study engages with this research by operationalizing neighborhoods using Hipp and Boessen’s egohood strategy and using Drawve’s aggregate neighborhood risk of crime measure to assess the relationship of a neighborhood’s physical environment with its spatial vulnerability of experiencing a homicide. Findings demonstrate that the physical environment was a significant predictor of neighborhood homicide; however, social structural neighborhood characteristics were more important. This suggests crime prevention strategies like crime prevention though environmental design or blight remediation may provide prudent and straightforward methods to inhibit lethal violence in a community in the short run, but that addressing a neighborhood’s social structural characteristics may be more effective at reducing homicides in the long term.

Abstract:Following Nepal’s 2015 earthquake, there was speculation that sacred art would be looted from the ruins of severely damaged temples due to a breakdown in formal security. Although pillage did not immediately occur, the months following the earthquake have seen the theft of sacred heritage items. As Nepali sacred art remains under threat of theft, we explore the processes by which government intervention can be destructive of the community dynamic that maintains local crime prevention on an informal and unofficial level. Based on fieldwork conducted in Nepal shortly before and after the earthquake, we ask: can situational crime prevention measures, when imposed in a top-down fashion upon communities by state actors, be corrosive of collective efficacy and, therefore, ultimately self-defeating in crime prevention terms? The case of post-quake Nepal seems to suggest that the answer to this question is, in some circumstances, yes.

Abstract:

This study reports the findings from an interactive research project in which academics and practitioners worked closely together in designing a new, criteria-based assessment tool that enables local municipalities to measure the degree of collaboration, innovation and crime-preventive effect in publicly financed projects intended to keep at-risk youth out of criminal activities. The assessment tool also offers a much-needed opportunity for researchers to study the extent to which cross-boundary collaboration may spur the development of innovative solutions, which in turn may help to prevent youth crime. The key empirical finding is that collaboration has a strong association with public innovation, which in turn has a strong association with the ability of local projects to help prevent crime. The result makes an important contribution to the expanding field of public innovation research in which quantitative studies that combine process evaluation and impact studies are extremely rare.

Abstract:

Crime prevention programs in Canada have increasingly adopted community mobilization frameworks – a process in which individuals, groups, and organizations in a community come together to address particular social issues associated with individual risk, health and safety, crime prevention, and community development. These initiatives intend to address systemic issues that are strongly correlated with criminal activity and with community safety and well-being. Twelve community mobilization (CM) initiatives have been established in Manitoba. CM is often considered an innovative way to deal with high-risk individuals who are best served by an approach that activates communities to act on their behalf and, by doing so, increases community safety. CM is also considered a networked form of crime control that activates groups not normally involved with crime control. Although intending to mobilize communities to act, some of these programs have been critiqued as being state-centric and promoting a police agenda. We have found preliminary evidence that Manitoban initiatives have avoided these problems and retained autonomy and local governance in their design and operation. Using the theoretical concept of nodal networks (organizational sites that bring together institutions to shape a flow of events), we argue that models of CM in Manitoba have maintained local leadership and resisted standardization, which gives them the potential to meet the original goals of CM: to co-produce community-grounded definitions and practices of public safety. We introduce indicators to verify these nodal networks and discuss the possibilities for reimagining public safety.

Abstract:

Neighborhood Watch is a community crime prevention program organized mainly by local residents to maintain order and deter crime. Neighborhood Watch is an important element of community policing in Taiwan. Relying on previous research, this study illustrates the implementation process of Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan. Starting in the 1970s, Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan evolved through several stages, shifting from a focus on moral alignment to community building and crime prevention. The central pillar of Neighborhood Watch is civilian patrol groups commonly organized by either the government at all levels as part of their civilian defense scheme or neighborhood patrol squads staffed by local volunteers. The organization and resources associated with Neighborhood Watch elucidate the government's intention to integrate the program into community policing as an effective tool for building community safety and strengthening crime prevention. It is reasonable to predict that the Taiwan government and police are likely to continue their support for the operation of Neighborhood Watch as part of collective efforts to build healthy and safe communities.

Abstract:

This paper presents the EU Western Balkan Strategy and focuses on solving security problems common to the region and the Republic of Serbia. The analysis of this strategic document and strategic orientation of Serbia in relation to main security issues shows their complementarity. First of all, these documents share essentially same views on security issues, for which the Western Balkan is not only a transit area, but a final destination and even the source, particularly organized crime, terrorism and irregular migration. Prevention and suppression of given issues determines priorities of the Serbian police, at the same time leading to successful response to crime and other security threats in Serbia, as well as achievements in meeting commitments in the EU accession process and adopting the European acquis.

Abstract:

Crime prevention standards in housing have for a long time been limited to target hardening, and in that respect European Norms were developed as guidelines for ‘burglar resistant’ doors, windows and shutters (EN1630). Recent developments include a set of supplementary crime prevention standards in the building sector, which are not limited to technical products but focus on the layout and management of urban environments and their impact on public safety. This article focuses on the problem of systematic Europe-wide implementation of crime prevention standards in urban planning. The attempt to implement common guidelines for design-led crime prevention through the development of a European Norm has failed. In this article I will first introduce the system of standardization and then examine the particular European Standard for Crime Prevention by Urban Planning and Building Design (CEN/TR14383). Instead of a harmonious application of that standard in Europe, a variety of policies have been negotiated, including national standardization, consulting schemes and liaison systems based on rewards. Moreover the standard has been re-interpreted in some jurisdictions as ‘gender mainstreaming’, and it has been adopted by police to organize national training for local governments. I will present and compare examples from Denmark, the UK, the Netherlands, Austria and Poland to show the divergent ways of interpretation and practical implementation of guidelines in design-led crime prevention.

Abstract:

In this article author analyzes the term of ‘special criminological crime prevention’ and determines the main directions by which such crimes prevention is developed and realized. Consideringthe fact that the existing in the Soviet Union times o the system of crimes prevention in Ukraine was destroyed after the declaration of independence, the author emphasizes the necessity of building a new efficient and comprehensive system of crimes prevention in Ukraine, in which the methods on Internet crimes prevention should be reflected. The author deems the problem of realization of special criminological crime prevention in the field of copyright as the cornerstone of the overall process of crimes combating, prevention of committing copyright crimes and enhancement of criminality in Ukraine. This idea is reflected among scientific environment, in particular such scientists as A.A. Lomakina, Y.Y. Fedorishena, O.V. Novikov, M.V. Boruta, I.M. Romanyuk, B.M. Krivolapov and other have been investigated the same legal problem. The author defines the law enforcement agency within the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine dedicated to combating cyber crime, including the prevention, combating and investigation of Internet copyright crimes – the department of Cyber Police of Ukraine. The author points out that the main tasks of this department include: implementation of the state policy in the sphere of combating cybercrime, early informing of the population on the emergence of new cybercriminals, implementation of software for the systematization of cybercidents. The author emphasizes that the role of the local government bodies couldn’t be overestimated in the building of national crimes prevention system because making of effective decisions subject to assistance to families, people with disabilities, the regulation of tariff and price policy and other, make the general atmosphere in society stable, that helps to avoid new crimes commitments. The author emphasizes that the local government bodies have to carry out special criminological crime prevention activities. In this article the author also proposes new special criminological crime prevention measures in the field of copyright which could be undertaken by relevant authorities, and also notes on the neccessity of the legal implementation of mechanisms for copyright protection on the Internet, which copyright owner can use personally to protect his works. Keywords: special criminological crime prevention measures, Internet copyright crimes prevention, crimes prevention, Internet, ways to prevent Internet copyright crimes, development of new Internet copyright crimes prevention measures.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on local safety map creation education activities for crime prevention and to quantitatively identify the relationships between the elements that determine the expected effects of local safety maps. Design/methodology/approach In order to clarify the effects following and the significant factors involved in creating local safety maps, questionnaire surveys were given to participants in map-creation activities held in Kitakyushu City, Japan. The results were analyzed with structural equation modeling. Findings The results showed that safety maps may improve an understanding of the characteristics of dangerous and safe places, but they may not enhance knowledge of places sufficiently for someone to ask for help if they are in danger or are likely to be a crime victim. Of the factors most important in both the creation and effectiveness of safety maps, intergenerational exchanges and communication rank the highest, as they relate to an understanding of safety and crime prevention, and to familiarity with the region. Practical implications In the future, we should establish a system and design for safety map creation in which intergenerational discussion and communication with various people, including university students, is possible. Originality/value Although the production of local safety maps has been said to improve participants’ abilities, it was unclear who gained abilities in the map-making process to the extent to which the participants could effectively produce the maps. This paper discovered the effects and the significant factors involved in map creation.

Abstract:

Local police have long assumed some responsibility for enforcing state and local government administrative regulations, such as those governing licenses and permits. In recent years, local police have broadened their use of regulatory authority to make it an integral part of their crime and disorder control efforts, doing so either directly or through the cooperation of other local and state regulatory agencies. This shift in police legal orientation, from predominantly criminal toward administrative, has been promoted and supported through problem-oriented policing and situational crime prevention frameworks. This article reviews applications of police regulatory control to specific crime and disorder problems, the mechanisms by which they work, and the possible ramifications for police administration and police intragovernmental and extragovernmental relations.

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated crime events with repeat and near-repeat analysis for Turkey’s Trabzon city’s crime data after standardization process on raw crime data. First, a new crime geodatabase model was created. All types of recorded crime data for events between the years 2010 and 2014 were standardized, generalized, and Geo-referenced. We gave certain locations to crime events with geocoding techniques. Then, we created density maps of crime events with Kernel method in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Repeat and near-repeat methods were tested on Burglary crime type in this geodatabase. Studies focused to applying prediction analysis besides showing current situation. These predictive analyses may be applied for all the security, intelligence, or defense departments at local, national, or international levels.

Abstract:

This study is a study on the construction of a crime-safe city as a countermeasure by analyzing the occurrence of crimes due to the new urban concentration in the outskirts of the city in order to escape the urban concentration phenomenon. The subject of this study is Pyeongtaek, south Gyeonggi-do. In 2020, the number of crimes nationwide was 1,611,906, 3,108.7 per 100,000 people, and the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency had 379,794 crimes, which was 3,877.5 per 100,000, while Pyeongtaek City had 28,270, which was 5,510.4 per 100,000. This is more than 2,000 cases higher than the national crime rate per 100,000 people, and 1,500 cases higher than the crime rate in Gyeonggi-do. In other words, the study began with the need for an alternative for the safety and order maintenance and risk prevention of Pyeongtaek citizens due to crime. As a result, the problem with the occurrence of crimes in Pyeongtaek City is First, the occurrence of crimes due to insufficient security conditions. Second, there is a lack of CCTV, an infrastructure for crime prevention. Third, it is the deterioration of crime prevention activities through people-to-people cooperation, which is one of the police activities of the local community, which is outside the traditional police activities. Based on these problems, suggestions were made on how to increase the efficiency of the construction of a crime-safe city. First, the factors vulnerable to crime and improvement of the environment. Second, the strengthening of police patrol power in response to crime. Third, crime prevention is the duty of the police.
