Crime prevention has the power to change all that.
It's also a time to honor individuals who have accepted personal responsibility for their neighborhoods and groups who work for the community's common good. Grassroots, collaborative action makes a difference. This year celebrate Crime Prevention Month by holding a bicycle safety rodeo for children, starting a Neighborhood Watch group in your neighborhood, or distributing fraud prevention materials to the elderly. This year's kit will give you the tools to do this, and much more. When prevention becomes everybody's business, crime and fear no longer dominate our lives.
