Introduction Crime Prevention is defined as the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a crime risk, and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it. The appearance that an occupant is present and is attentive to the condition of the property is, in itself, a potent deterrent to would-be criminals, and Physical security equipment is absolutely worthless unless used, and The component in any security system most likely to fail is the human one. The second fundamental step toward home crime prevention is to be a good neighbor. A cooperative neighborhood can increase everyone's collective home security with very little individual effort or time. Finally, make an effort to cooperate with and support your law enforcement.
Security is never convenient, and convenience usually degrades security.
Only you can decide what is the appropriate mix of security and convenience for you. Others are less obvious, and many are counter intuitive. In some rental properties and university type housing, at least some of these choices have been made for you, and there are consequences should you avoid or defeat the security procedures and devices which have been installed for your and other occupants' protection. In any setting, choosing inappropriately can be very costly in terms not only of assets, but in personal injury. We urge you to give security careful considerations and ensure you make an informed decision.
