- Summary:
-
Crime prevention works. This simple fact is often forgotten in the ongoing debate over crime and its causes. Prevention works when individuals take common-sense actions to protect themselves, their families and property. The theme from Crime Prevention Month 1995 goes back to these basics: good home security, self-protection skills for kids and adults, drug prevention, and Neighborhood Watch. This guide offers event and program ideas, along with resources that focus primarily on the following issues: media violence, drug prevention, gun violence, safety for children at home and school, domestic violence, neighborhood organizing, sexual assault, conflict management and community service. Organizational tips and practical tools include ideas on how to: work with area law enforcement agencies, schools, businesses, religious organizations, colleges and universities, and print and broadcast media to promote crime prevention. Camera-ready brochures, articles, posters and activity sheets included in the back of the guide can be used throughout the year to energize and rejuvenate crime prevention programs. Use of items that feature logos of McGruff the crime dog and his nephew Scruff is recommended to help enrich crime prevention programs. A list of products and their descriptions is included, along with other selected resources from the National Crime Prevention Council. (KW)
