    Crime prevention involves both individual safety measures and promoting safety in communities. At the individual level, people can take self-defense courses, carry protective devices, and be aware of their surroundings. For community safety, neighborhoods can improve lighting, install security cameras, and start neighborhood watch programs. Neighbors getting to know each other helps as people can look out for suspicious activity. Home safety involves reinforcing windows, using home security systems, and getting to know neighbors who can help monitor the area. The most important rule is being attentive to one's surroundings.

    Crime prevention: individual and community safety rules

    The modern world suffers from a wide variety of crimes, despite the fact that
    laws and the police do everything to prevent them. Each country has its own crime
    prevention department or organization, but this does not mean that the number of
    crimes has decreased. Crime prevention means the prevention of criminal activity at
    the initial stage, when the offender is only plotting, planning to commit a certain
    crime. There are certain individual and public safety rules for crime prevention that it
    is important for every member of society to know and follow.
    As for community safety rules, it is important to take them at the level of the
    neighboring community. Such measures concern the installation of lighting on the
    street. You can talk to your neighborhood association about increased lighting on
    your street. Burglars often case an entire street or neighborhood to determine if it’s a
    good target, but often prefer to do so in the dark of night. A well-lit neighborhood
    will likely deter him from your area, or at the very least make it very difficult for him
    to slip away undetected. Installation of cameras is also an effective measure.
    Cameras enable users to record footage so they can watch at a later time, help find
    criminals, and receive justice from the law. Another important rule for crime
    prevention is forming a neighborhood watch program. This can also give you the
    opportunity to get to know your neighbors better. You can speak to your local police
    department about giving your group an informal lecture that can provide insight into
    identifying a suspicious person and how to recognize a burglary in progress and what
    to do in an emergency.
    With regard to individual safety rules, each person can carry protective
    equipment, such as a spray or an electric shock weapon. It can also be a good idea to
    take self-defense courses. Then you can fight back the attacker. However, the most
    important rule of personal safety is of course to be watchful and always aware of
    your surroundings.
    Equally important are the rules for home safety. A great idea is to get to know
    your neighbors. Crime tends to be lower in tight-knit communities because neighbors
    are more likely to look out for each other and can easily spot a stranger. Your nosy
    neighbors, whom you try to avoid, can be one of your best assets in home crime
    prevention because they offer extra eyes and alert you to any suspicious activity that
    may occur in your absence. However, if you have money you can buy yourself a
    home security system. Once it’s installed, you should make it a regular habit to use it.
    Though it may seem inconvenient to have to arm the system every time you leave
    the house, many burglars are aware that the responsibility is often neglected and
    may not be deterred by window stickers or yard signs warning of home protection.
    Also, you can reinforce windows with metal bars. It may seem an extreme step, but
    burglars will often break a window in order to gain entry. Make it impossible for
    them to break through by hiring a window company to install safety glass or
    impossible to squeeze through by installing metal bars.
    All these rules are aimed at ensuring the safety of a person's life in society.
    However, the most important rule of crime prevention is simply to be attentive to the
    people around you. This can save not only your property or the property of your
    neighbors, but also your life.
