Part 2:
Crime prevention incorporates a problem-oriented approach by a systematic process where an agency or organization: (1) assesses, predicts, and anticipates the potential for a crime to occur in a particular place or the potential for delinquent and criminal behavior to develop in a young person, (2) gathers and analyzes relevant information in order to assess the scope and nature of the (potential) problem, and then (3) intervenes to address the problem, employing individualized strategies that are developed according to the level of risk and the nature and scope of the problem.
