economy in relation to property crime.
### Situational Crime Prevention Strategies
Situational crime prevention strategies focus on reducing opportunities for crime by making
specific changes to the environment, making it more difficult, risky, or less rewarding for
potential offenders. These strategies can be classified into five main categories:
1. **Increasing the Effort**:
- **Description**: This strategy aims to make it more difficult for criminals to commit a crime
by increasing the physical or cognitive effort required.
- **Examples**:
- **Target Hardening**: Installing deadbolts, security bars, and reinforced doors to prevent
break-ins.
- **Access Control**: Using electronic entry systems, security guards, and fencing to control
who can enter certain areas.
- **Personal Example**: My neighborhood recently installed a gated entrance with security
codes, making it harder for unauthorized individuals to access residential areas.
2. **Increasing the Risks**:
- **Description**: This strategy aims to increase the likelihood that offenders will be caught or
face consequences if they attempt a crime.
