Description :
Situational Crime Prevention use techniques focusing on reducing on the opportunity to commit a crime. Some of techniques include cumulative the difficulty of crime increasing the risk of crime and reducing the rewards of crime. It is a new crime prevention technique used in the field of criminology and criminal justice system. That is a crime prevention strategy that addresses specific crime by supervision designing and manipulating the situation in a manner that seeks to increase the risk to the offender, while reducing the offender’s potential reward of committing the crime. Situational crime prevention emphases on the criminal setting and is different from most criminology as it being with an examination of the environments that allow particular types of crime. While there has been much research and criminological discussion of situational crime prevention, it has focused on issues of effectiveness and other technical aspects. These ideas about prevention are not necessarily shared by the man – in the street or even by policemen and magistrates, but they have prevailed among academics, administrators and others who contribute to the formulation of criminal policy.
