## 3 Finally

As changes in social conditions progress, there is an increasing trend in violent sexual crimes targeting children, child abuse, violent incidents attributable to the entanglement of emotions related to romantic attachment, etc. and violent incidents of abuse elder by persons providing their care. In addition, within the backdrop of proliferation of new communication tools, damages incurred through cases of child pornography using the Internet, camera voyeurism using smartphones and specialized fraud that exploits devices such as rental mobile phones, are conspicuous.

Although this suggests that changes in society significantly affect the safety and security of children, women and the elderly, the policies needed to ensure their safety and security are not so simple.

As well as the prompt and appropriate implementation of police activities when crimes occur, the arresting of suspects and working to prevent any escalation of damages, it is necessary to promote the heightening of crime prevention awareness through;

- crime prevention guidance/education from the standpoint of each individual to prevent persons from becoming victims,

- effective enlightenment activities and provision of information related to the latest tactics and status of the crimes.

- environmental improvements such as the installation of street security cameras, etc.

- accurate understanding of the levels of risk in any given situation and providing counsel regarding measures to be taken while taking the feelings and needs of victims into consideration,

with the aim of preventing crime and nurturing a sense of security.

In order to make these policies effective, cooperation with local residents and related agencies/organizations is important, and although the construction of crime prevention networks and related activities are already in progress in relation to some policies, for the future, it will be necessary to promote the comprehensive approaches to ensure safety and security in all regions through activities such as the safe community activities.
