Focus area crime reduction opportunities

Directing resources to focus areas provides a number of crime and disorder reduction opportunities. These include:

  • More effectively dealing with those who commit crime

    • Identifying and prosecuting the most active criminals

    • Addressing problem families

  • Target hardening by defensive mechanisms or by developing neighbourhood resilience

  • Reducing the opportunity to offend

  • Reducing physical (through environmental design) and social factors conducive to criminal activity.
