JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate October 1994 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 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 prevent crime and build safer more
caring communities;
Whereas all kinds of community organizations (including in-
dividuals, law enforcement, other State and local agen-
cies, civic and community groups, religious institutions,
schools, and businesses) have vital roles to play in reduc-
ing crime and building safer, more vibrant communities;
•HJ 363 IH
Whereas it is important to honor annually those throughout
society who work to prevent crime and to build and sus-
tain communities; and
Whereas the National Citizens’ Crime Prevention Campaign
(featuring McGruff the Crime Dog and sponsored by the
Department of Justice, the Crime Prevention Coalition,
and the National Crime Prevention Council) encourages
effective partnerships to reduce crime and to improve life
throughout the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the month of October 1994 is designated as ‘‘Crime
Prevention Month’’ and the President is authorized and
requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of
the United States to observe this month with appropriate
