crime prevention
Halting illegal acts
Crime prevention encompasses strategies and measures designed to reduce the likelihood of criminal activity before it occurs.
This includes physical security like locks and lighting, community programs, policing strategies, and social interventions addressing root causes of crime.
The neighborhood watch is part of the city's crime prevention efforts.
The term often appears in official contexts: crime prevention officer, crime prevention program.
