Situational Crime Prevention Analysis

Situational crime prevention (SCP) is a framework, developed by Ronald Clarke, for reducing crime by changing the immediate situations in which it occurs rather than the dispositions of offenders. It diagnoses the specific opportunities that make a crime easy, rewarding, or low-risk and then applies twenty-five practical techniques organized under five mechanisms: increase effort, increase risk, reduce rewards, reduce provocations, and remove excuses.
