BBC Crime Prevention Pages

Action Network - Crime prevention is a primary concern of the police and the general public. Tools such as anti-social behaviour orders are commonly used to this end but have been criticised as too punitive and sometimes ineffective. Some groups say the best forms of crime prevention are community-based, such as neighbourhood watch and local youth clubs.
