WELCOME
The members of the North carolina Crime Prevention Association,
recognize that by formal definition, crime prevention is the
"Anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a crime risk and
the initiation of some action to remove of reduce it". In
practical application, crime prevention is a pattern of
attitudes and behaviors directed both at reducing the threat of
crime and enhancing the sense of safety and security.
Crime Prevention positively influences the
quality of life in our society, and helps develop environments
where crime cannot flourish through a concentrated, cooperative
effort.
