/in /by

The property crime rate in Centervale has increased by
50% in the past five years. The citizens have been complaining about the
rise in property crimes and nothing being done about it. The
Centerville City Council approves a new position of Crime Analyst for
the Centerville Police Department.

Your application is accepted, and your interview date
and time are set. You have been asked to prepare a written document
containing a crime prevention strategy that you feel would make a big
difference in the city’s crime rate.

Task:

Use online
library, and any other outside sources to prepare a 2–3-page report. In
your report:

  • Explain a proactive crime prevention
    strategy that will most likely substantially decrease victimization in
    Centerville for all types of crimes, specifically property crimes.
  • Analyze and explain the victimology
    theory from your prior readings that best fits your strategy and explain
    how. Also, include which crime victim theory best fits crimes on
    campus.
  • Explain how the crime rate is determined and define the dark figure of crime.

Include an APA-formatted reference page that links back
to your in-text citations and supports your recommendations. Remember,
you cannot have only in-text citations or only references. You must have
both because in-text citations and references link to each other.
