Crime Prevention Tips
What is Crime Prevention?
Crime prevention is the anticipation, the recognition, and the appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of action to remove or reduce it.
Crime prevention is a shared responsibility. It is not just a college problem or a police problem.
Three elements must be present for a crime to occur: desire, ability, and opportunity. This is also known as the crime triangle. A person may “want” to commit a crime, and have the “ability” to commit a crime, but if we deny them the “opportunity,” then no crime can be committed. Seattle Pacific University wants to help individuals make decisions in their everyday lives to reduce the opportunity for crime to occur, whether on campus or not.
