Environmental Criminology and Crime Prevention aim to prevent crime, not to cure offenders or reform society

Environmental Criminology and Crime Prevention aim to prevent crime, not to cure offenders or reform society.
It is based on three contingent propositions:
• Crime is best understood as an interaction between the offender and the immediate
environment.
• Crime is therefore patterned according to the distribution of criminogenic environments
• These locations are the logical targets for interventions to prevent and control crime.
1) Using examples of at least six of the criminology theories and policing practices covered in this
course, explain how these three contingent propositions are used in policing policy and practice
to prevent crime.
