Preventing Car Theft In Australia

A visit to France should be like a dream come true, an experience of a lifetime, but for Jeffrey Reiman and his wife it was not. In the summer of 2005, they visited a town called Nice. After traveling all night, the couple picked up a car that they were leasing for the summer. Before they could lock the doors to the car or even enjoy any of the accommodations, they were victimized. There, in the city of Nice, they have a crime called vol a la portiere, “theft through the door.” This

Likewise, bike theft is a huge problem for many metropolitan cities in the U.S.. Literature to support this claim is the 2015 Crime Prevention Program in Portland, Oregon. “Thousands of bicycles are stolen in the City of Portland each year… Places with high concentrations of parked bicycles such as college campuses are especially vulnerable to theft” (Office of Neighborhood Involvement Crime Prevention Program, Bicycle Theft Prevention, 2015). This article also identifies many preventative techniques to make a bike harder to steal; for example, “Proactively register your bike and include its serial number and photos with the bike registration services bikeindex.org and project529.com” (2015). Moving on, it is imperative to attack any problem

Now and again your important things in the auto can entice the trespassers and urge them to grab or take.

Situational crime prevention constitutes primary crime prevention measure. This is to say that it is aimed at deterring crime before it occurs. Situational prevention, like other similar primary prevention measures, focuses on subduing crime opportunities instead of the attributes of criminals or even potential criminals. It seeks to curtail opportunities for certain groups of crime by increasing the risks and difficulties associated with them and significantly reducing the rewards. Situational prevention is made up of three key elements: a sound theoretical framework, an authoritative methodology for dealing with specific crimes, and a collection of opportunity-reducing approaches (Felson & Clarke, 1997).

After looking at the patterns of car prowl crimes in the NE Airport way district it is obvious that is highly packed with theft. There is somewhat of a pattern that occurs during the months of October and November. The amount of car prowler crimes are slightly above average in these two months.

Good evening Mathew, great post. As you stated in your above respond, i agree with the Routine Activities Theory (RAT) which involve two elements being presents inorder for a crime to occur.

Many could aviod theft of their vehicle in this matter by removing their keys of the ignition and lock their vehicle whenever they about to leave their vehicle unattended.

Poland is generally safer than most European countries, east or west. And Krakow is safer than other major cities in Poland. Certainly, even without asking for it one may get into trouble when in the wrong place in the wrong time and, above all, with the wrong people. Yet mere common sense plus just elementary precautions should suffice to keep a visitor perfectly safe in Krakow. Unfortunately, petty crime seems quite common in the city. Whereas mugging remains sporadic, pilfering is rampant. Although foreign visitors most often fall victim to pickpockets, it is the less prevalent and declining car theft that appears the worst plague in Poland, Krakow being no exception.

Crime exists everywhere in the world – in rural and urban areas in many countries, in the East and West, and among all types of people. This has led many government officials, especially those in urban areas, to focus largely on the reduction of crime among their respective constituencies and has led others to speculate on the factors that influence the amount of crime and how those factors can be controlled. Crime has been around since man and there is no doubt that it will continue to be around, until there is an existence of a perfect world. But for now, we
