This page has been set up to give you some insight into The Crime Beat Gazette. It will always be an unfinished work in progress so please visit often. The Crime Beat Gazette is a newsletter devoted to issues concerning public safety, crime prevention, personal security as well as issues involving offenders, victims, courts, sanctions and like topics. The Crime Beat Gazette premiered in January 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia as his way of helping citizens fight back against crime. It was meant to be a means from which people could learn to do for themselves rather than be dependent upon the police.
Police are usually reactive.
They show up after a crime has been committed. And if crime does occur, I want people to know how to deal with it and not feel so helpless. Stephen writes most of the articles that appear in this monthly newsletter. His inspiration for story ideas come from his life growing up in Indianapolis and attending public schools, his experiences as an undergraduate student at Ball State University, his encounters working in security and law enforcement, his observations while living in Atlanta, Georgia as well as from the experiences of his family and friends. The Crime Beat Gazette also has a panel of 12 Executive Advisory Board members who have varying backgrounds.
