Situational Crime Prevention

The video discusses the evolution of health and crime prevention, emphasizing situational crime prevention strategies like CCTV and improved street lighting. A study by Dr. Kate Painter in Stoke-on-Trent examined the impact of enhanced street lighting on crime rates, revealing a significant reduction in crime and fear of crime. The study also addressed the criticism of crime displacement, finding instead a diffusion of benefits to surrounding areas. Despite these positive outcomes, the video concludes that situational crime prevention is not a complete solution to crime.
