JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate October 1993 as ‘‘Crime Prevention Month’’.
Whereas crime prevention improves the quality of life in every
community;
Whereas crime prevention is a cost-effective answer to the
problems caused by crime, drug abuse, and fear of crime;
Whereas crime prevention is central to a sound criminal jus-
tice system at national, State, and local levels;
Whereas more than 27,000,000 people in the United States
are actively engaged in helping their communities to pre-
vent the commission of crimes against persons and
property;
•HJ 252 IH
Whereas millions of citizens have demonstrated that by work-
ing together, they can reduce crime, drug abuse, and fear
of crime;
Whereas all people of the United States, from preschoolers to
senior citizens can help themselves, their families, and
their neighborhoods to prevent crime and to build safer
and more caring environments;
Whereas an important challenge facing all people and groups
in the United States (including individuals, State and
local agencies, civic and community groups, religious in-
stitutions, schools, businesses, and law enforcement agen-
cies) is to weave methods into daily life that prevent
crime and become part of society’s norms;
Whereas it is important to annually honor persons who work
throughout society to prevent crime and to build and sus-
tain the Nation’s communities; and
Whereas the National Crime Prevention Campaign (featuring
McGruff the Crime Dog and promoted by the Depart-
ment of Justice, the National Crime Prevention Council,
and the Crime Prevention Coalition) promotes diverse
partnerships among law enforcement agencies, citizens,
businesses, and government to reduce crime and to im-
prove community life throughout the Nation: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 1993 is designated as ‘‘Crime Prevention
