Summary: The Portland Burglary Prevention Program

There is a strong support for the belief that when citizens feel that their neighborhood is no longer safe, the feeling of insecurity forces them to move away. What it is important to mention is that this option will most likely be available to the middle class or those who can afford to move, but not to the poor, who have fewer choices. If the middle class moves out and the poor stay, the neighborhood will inevitably become economically disadvantaged. If by any of the already mentioned reasons an individual has to move out to a more hospitable environment, he will lack his trust and confidence in police 's ability to provide its first obligation, which is safety to the public. To deter this, police must

Crime prevention is a crucial aspect in the criminal justice field. Prevention efforts are important for law enforcement officials, and others associated with the elimination and reduction of crime, to enforce precautionary and safety measures in one’s community in order to reduce the victimization rate.

One thing the chief in Gresham needs to keep in mind is that more police does not necessarily mean a reduction of crime. In fact studies have shown that simply increasing the quantity of police in a given area has little to no effect on the areas crime rates. (---) The disparity between the residential burglary rates in Gresham and the rest of Oregon probably reflects the fact that despite having a large number of police the city's policing tactics are not directed toward the source of the issue. this is exemplified primarily by the fact that each of the surrounding cities which have seen a reduction in residential burglaries have pre uabl sful mmunity outreach programs to promote the reduction in general residential crime. For instance one

Police and other elements of the criminal justice system are at the center of efforts to reduce gang violence. Police are fully aware of the damage that gangs do to their communities, in terms of graffiti, vandalism, fighting, shoot-outs, robbery, rape and other violence. They understand that neighborhoods cannot function effectively under the reign of terror that many street gangs impose. At the same time, police leaders around the nation have frequently made the point that “we cannot arrest our way out of the crime problem.” Too many lawbreakers, limited police resources and high levels of long-term losses to communities make it vital that arrest not be the only answer. Community involvement, focused social services and community problem solving are other critical strategies that can reduce crime in the long term and strengthen neighborhoods.

Community policing styles in “broken window” areas has become essential over the past decade. Broken window areas, are not just a bunch of houses with shattered windows. In criminal justice terms, an area that has broken windows is an area that has generally lost social control and has become a dangerous area to live. Many of these broken window areas generally lack social order, have high crime rates, and crime starts going unpunished and unnoticed. So how do police departments fix high crime rates in these areas? What styles of policing are most efficient in deterring crime? Some officers of the law believe that foot patrol policing is the best style of policing, while others believe that patrol cars are the answer to prevent crime in these areas. Police departments and officers alike; have come up with multiple strategies to deter and prevent crime, and with a new era of technology, police departments have new resources and strategies at there disposal.

Predictive policing is already showing results in places like Santa Cruz, California. As I mentioned in my first paragraph, what they do is use historical crime data from the past 10-20 years to give officers the best places to find and prevent crime before it happens. The program has resulted in a 27% decrease in robberies and an 11% decrease in burglaries in the first years of trying predictive policing.

One reason why crime rates have decreased is because communities are more willing to work with the police instead of against them. When community members come together and report criminal behavior, crimes are likely to reduce. Most members of society are done with people’s criminal behaviors and paying for so

You succinctly described the crime of burglary/robbery and its presentation in the Bible as well as its equivalent in modern law. The crime of stealing is a specific sin that is to be punished on Earth by death. Unlike modern times, prisons did not exist in biblical times. Therefore, it

Rena, It is unfortunate that crime has evolved so drastically that individuals are now required to pay for peace of mind in their homes. There is not much protection for homeowners. One must either move to a less crime area or pay for protection. As with anything supply in addition to demand must exist for home security agencies to prevail. Companies such as ADT or Preventa have learned to capitalize on high crime cities like Memphis or Detroit and develop a marketing strategy to provide a need to purchase their services. There must be at least two parties to conduct an exchange (Ferrell, O.C., & Hartline, M.D., 2014). Cameras do detour crimes; however, they do not solve the crime problem entirely.

The Agency that was interviewed was The Neighborhood Watch Program from The El Paso Police Department Northeast Regional Command Center in El Paso Texas. The officer that was interviewed was Crime Prevention officer Jeffery Bell. The Neighborhood Watch is a community-based crime prevention program where neighbors look out for each other’s safety, property and homes. The program is based on the idea when residents, businesses, police officers and other community members look out for the safety of the neighborhood, safer communities are created and crime is reduced. It is best to participate by establishing and keeping open lines of communication, and working together to solve problems regarding crime and any other issue pertaining to the community. It is very simple and cost effective and keeps crime and fear out of the community and allows residents to be at peace, also brings residents of the community and police officers together as a team.

I believe this approach can work on Portland area as well. Portland is similar to Seattle although Portland’s city size, population, and structure aren’t as huge and complex as Seattle. Portland has many different size community and also business areas, burglars usually target those properties they think are not at high risk. In the program, the most important function are block watch organizing, property marking, and household security inspections, which are designed to increase the risk for burglaries. The burglary rate should be decreasing in a community if the neighborhood are actively involved, and the police agencies conduct the program in proactive intervention that focus on risk factors before crime happens and find the pattern of crime,

One of the main aspects of criminal justice systems is crime prevention. Crime prevention is compromised of a system that uses methods and ideas to reduce the causes of crime and eliminate them. Typically, law enforcement and similar agencies practice crime prevention strategies in order to be able to enforce the law. Many agencies have developed their own methods to combat crime and prevent it from reoccurring through the use of informants, laws, and other tactics. Crime prevention is fundamental to have a safer neighborhood and there are many different strategies that are currently being used on the field. Crime prevention can be taken on by a lot of different people; police officers as well as community members can take certain measures

Angel Olsen is not likely to be convicted of second-degree murder for the killing of Kendrick Lamar during his commission of burglary. Burglary defined at common law, is the“ breaking and entering of a mansion house in the night with the intent to commit a felony”. People v. Martin, 168 Cal. App. 3d 1111 (5th Dist. Ct. App. 1985). Burglary under California penal code §459 is the entering of a structure “with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny or any felony”. Cal.pen §459. The latter burglary can be held in the first degree or second degree depending on the underlying elements of the case, i.e. if the structure is inhabited. California Penal code §197 (4) allows justification for those who commit homicide when “ in attempting by lawful

Gathering and Sharing The appropriate roles for local and federal law enforcement agencies in a national strategy for protecting the homeland is vigilance, intelligence gathering and sharing. When it came to the case of the Orlando Shooter, Omar Mateen, the gun smith told the FBI about him after he purchased the

This paper analyses the disparities of the 2014 reported burglary and theft statistics between the, Auckland City District (ACD) and Waitematā District (WD). The statistics are reported by the National Police Headquarters as of April 2015 (New Zealand Police, 2015). Therefore, Police reporting practices will be discussed to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the reported data. Secondly, the Routine Activities and Social Disorganisation theories will be used to provide an explanation for the differences in recorded burglary and theft statistics. Lastly possible policy solutions to reduce the amount of crime reported to and recorded by Police will be discussed. As it appears, burglary and theft offences are higher amongst the Auckland City district than the Waitematā. These results are consistent with the Routine Activity and Social Disorganisation theories as there are more suitable targets, less collective efficacy and more incapable guardians within the ACD due to structural deficiency.
