About Crime Prevention and Control

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

This unit sits in the Crime and Society strand of Criminology. The listed material looks at how societies try to stop crime and how they regulate behavior. The mind map Control, Punishment & Victims opens with the idea of social control, the capacity of societies to regulate behavior.

Several maps work through approaches to prevention. Crime Prevention Strategies splits them into situational, environmental, and social and community approaches, and mentions target hardening and street lighting. Broken Window Theory covers Wilson and Kelling and the idea that a disorderly environment invites more disorder. Crime and urban space looks at Le Corbusier and modernist design.

Where to start

Open Crime provention for the basics: formal social control, such as police, law and punishment, and informal control, such as people's reactions.
Move to Crime Prevention Strategies to see the main types of prevention side by side.
Read Prevention, policing and punishment. for Clarke's 1992 view that people commit crime when the benefits outweigh the costs.
Try Crime - situational factors for opportunity, routine activities approach and crime pattern theory.

Using quizzes and maps together

There are only a small number of quizzes here, so use them as checkpoints. Read a map, close it, then take the Reducing Crime quiz and note what you missed. Go back to the map for those points. The flashcard decks, such as Application: Situational Crime Prevention and THE CRIME TRIANGLE, are useful for key terms and names like Jane Jacobs.

Notes such as Broken Windows - created from Mind Map show how a map can be turned into written revision material. Teachers can use the slide sets, including Reducing Crime, as a starting point for a class.

Broader and local angles

A few resources apply the ideas to specific places, including lessons in crime reduction from Colombia. The mind map Control, Punishment and victimisation adds Left Realism and a critique of zero tolerance, which helps when you need to compare viewpoints.

When you are ready, pick one mind map, work through it, and then make your own version with the points you want to remember.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Control, Punishment & Victims or the one called Crime provention. Both explain social control, the idea that societies regulate behavior, and separate formal control such as police and law from informal control. After that, Crime Prevention Strategies makes a good second step.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

The mind maps cover situational, environmental and social prevention, broken windows theory, urban space and design, routine activities, crime pattern theory, Left Realism, and the SARA problem-solving model. Some also look at specific places, such as lessons in crime reduction from Colombia.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Is there anything for exam preparation?

Some resources are written with exams in mind. One note is a test guide on crime prevention, and one flashcard deck is built for a final exam. Another resource mentions A-level Sociology. Check each one against your own course, since the authors were individual users.

How many quizzes are there?

Only a small set, so this page leans more on mind maps and flashcards. Two quizzes are listed, including Reducing Crime. You can use them to check what you remember after reading a map, then return to the flashcards for any weak spots.

What if the topic I need is missing?

Look through the flashcards and notes first, since some cover narrower points such as anti-social behavior, terrorism or the crime triangle. If your topic still is not there, you can build your own mind map or flashcard deck and use it for studying.
