• Aim
• define terms such as prevention, reduction and
  community safety clearly and drawing useful
  distinctions between these perspectives
• bridge the cultural fault lines dividing the
  field
• help practitioners to envisage, communicate and
  implement specific interventions in the causes of
  crime, and to integrate diverse approaches

Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity (2)

• Crime happens when there is a person
• with a criminal predisposition present (e.g.
  family background)
• who lacks skills to avoid crime (e.g. cannot
  read)
• who is ready to offend (e.g. needs drug money)
• who has the resources (e.g. courage, tools,
  information)
• who judges the risk/reward in his/her favour
• who is there at a situation
• (see next slide)

13
Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity (3)

• And (crime happens) when there is a situation
• with a vulnerable attractive target (e.g.
  person, goods)
• where the target is vulnerably enclosed (e.g.
  shed)
• which has a conducive wider environment (e.g.
  escape trails)
• which does not have crime preventers present
  (e.g. person in uniform or teacher)
• which does have crime promoters (e.g.
  information, tools)
