Crime PreventionCrime Prevention

Involves the Minimizing or Reducing of Opportunities and/or the Desire to Commit Crime

Involves Programs to Prevent Both Criminalization and Victimization

Involves Active Participation With the Community

Requires a Cadre of Trained, Experienced Specialists

John C. Klotter ‑ University of Louisville ‑ National Crime Prevention Institute

Should Involve as Many Officers as Possible in a Department

Crime Prevention Can Be Practiced Independently From Community‑Oriented Policing and Problem‑Solving Policing

Crime Prevention Provides Knowledge About How to Prevent Specific Types of Crimes, How to Engage Members of the Community in Prevention Efforts and How to Develop Physical and Social Environments Inhospitable to Crime.

Crime Prevention Serves as a Tool With Which to Implement Community‑Oriented Policing

Crime Prevention Efforts Provide Information and Skills that Are Essential to Community Policing

Community-Oriented PolicingCommunity-Oriented Policing Community‑Oriented Policing Is A Philosophy

Of Policing Based Upon the Concept That Police Officers and Citizens Can Work Together in Creative Ways to Solve Problems Related to Crime and the Fear of Crime.

Community Policing Is An Attitude or Philosophy of Being Part of the Community in Which You Work

It Is an Attitude of Serving, Not Controlling the Public

Community Policing Is a Philosophy of Being Responsive to the Public's Needs and Concerns

Community Policing Is a Philosophy of Addressing the Public's Problems and Responding to Those Things They Believe Are Important, Not Always What We As Police Believe Is Most Important

Community-Oriented Policing Requires That We as Police Again Become Part of the Community and Use the Community as a Resource

Community Policing Involves Daily, Face-to-Face Contact With Members of the Community

The Community Has Input into the Police Agenda - Community Policing Survey

Robert Trojanowicz, School of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University

Community‑Oriented Policing Ideally Involves all Members of the Department

The Ultimate Goal of Community Policing Is the Prevention of Crime

While It Is Possible to Have Crime Prevention Without a Community Policing Focus, You Cannot Have Community Policing Without Crime Prevention

Crime Prevention Is the Tool to Implement Community Policing Efforts

Community Policing Encourages Officers to Experiment With Creative and Innovative Solutions Aimed at Community Problems.

In Community‑Oriented Policing, the Community Has More Input into the Police Agenda Than in Crime Prevention.

Community Policing Relies on Organizational Decentralization and a Reorientation of Uniformed Patrol to Facilitate Two-Way Communication Between the Police and the Public

Community Policing Shifts the Focus of Police Work From Handling Random Calls to Solving Community Problems

Community Policing Encourages Geographical Ownership by the Police

What Led to Community Policing? Isolation of Police Officers in Police CarsThe Narrowing of the Police Mission to Crime

Problem-Solving PolicingProblem-Solving Policing

Consists of Analyzing Groups of Incidents, Identifying the Underlying Circumstances That Create Them and Then Devising Solutions by Using a Wide Variety of Public and Private Resources

What Is a Problem?A Cluster of Similar, Related or Reoccurring

Incidents Rather Than a Single IncidentA Substantive Community ConcernA Unit of Police Business

Approaches to Problem-Solving PolicingConcentrate Attention On Those Individuals

Who Account For a Disproportionate Share of a Problem

Connect With Other Government or Private Services ‑ Referral to Another Agency

Correct Inadequacies in Local Services and Pressing For New Services ‑ Improved Lighting, For Example

Using Mediation and Negotiation SkillsConveying Information

Mobilizing the CommunityAltering the Physical Environment to Reduce

Opportunities for Problems to Occur Increasing Regulations, Through Statutes or

Ordinances, of Conditions That Contribute to Problems

Problem‑Solving Policing Can be Done Without a Commitment to Community‑Oriented Policing, but Community‑Oriented Policing Cannot be Done without a Commitment to Problem‑Solving Policing
