some areas are designed with features that make it impossible to commit common crimes, for example, sloping seats at bus shelters prevent people from sleeping on them, and a more extreme example, is the use of homeless spikes to deter people from certain places. 

A problem with this is, although it may prevent certain crimes in a specific situation, it is likely to just move elsewhere.]]> 2020-10-21 12:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848412918 situational crime prevention: https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848417622 Aims to increase the effort and offender must go through to carry out a crime, along with the risks the offender must face if they complete the crime.]]> 2020-10-21 12:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848417622 Zero Tolerance Policing https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848418536 A policing strategy that involves aggressive law enforcement against even minor crimes: 
In New York in 1994 the city was in the middle of a crack-🤬 epidemic and suffered from high levels of violent crime. Zero tolerance policing was introduced and within a few years crime had dropped from between 30%-50%.
Zero tolerance policing has also been introduces in Liverpool, a relatively high crime rate city. Overall crime fell by 25.7% in 2005 after it was introduced.

The biggest strength of Zero Tolerance Policing is hat it works, as the figures show, crime rate fell after it was introduced, and quickly.
Its also a relatively cheap.

The weakness are after it was introduced in New York, more people were being arrested for possession of marijuana (25,000 a year by 2012, which is one every 10 minutes) - some of these people lost their jobs or homes, this could then link in with labelling theory and secondary deviance, meaning that these people could have found it hard to come back into society which could have led to a deviant career and self fulfilling prophecy.

Another issue is that the right wing government could have overestimated how influential zero tolerance policing was as a comparative analysis shows that there were other causes of crime reduction. Crime has gone down in cities in the US and UK without using widespread zero tolerance policing techniques. Target hardening, increased time people spend on their phones (so less time on the streets), declining use of drugs, etc

Zero tolerance could also become racist- 85% of people dealt with under zero tolerance in New York were black or Hispanic]]> 2020-10-21 12:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848418536 Zero Tolerance Policing - New York https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848419966 The crime rate had been falling in New York since 1985 - nine years before zero-tolerance. 
New York's shortage of serious crime led police there to 'define deviance up'. They took to arresting peple for minor deviant acts that had previously fallen out of their 'net', re-labelling them now as worthy of punishment.

Then, after the introduction of zero tolerance in 1994, police and politicians then wrongly claimed that cracking down on these minor crimes had been the cause of the decline.
The 'success' of zero tolerance was just a product of the police's way of coping witha decline that had already occured

Young argues that zero tolerance's 'success' was in fact a myth, arguing that police needed arrests to justify their existence and to take credit for the falling crime. ]]> 2020-10-21 12:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848419966 Situational Crime Prevention: https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848422650 Focuses more on the immediate opportunities for offending. Situational crime prevention seeks to reduce the harms caused by crime through altering immediate or situational factors in the environments where crime regularly occurs. Some examples of situational prevention in effect include installing surveillance equipment in areas that experience a lot of vandalism. 

Zero Tolerance Policing
Zero-tolerance is a policing strategy that involves relentless order maintenance and aggressive law enforcement, against even minor crimes and incivilities.
Zero tolerance policing has been applied in Liverpool, a relatively high-crime rate city. Following its introduction in 2005, overall recorded crime fell by 25.7% in the three years to 2008 with violent crime falling by 38%.

Antisocial behaviour
An antisocial behaviour order (ASBO) is an order, given out by a court, to stop a person from behaving in certain ways or doing certain things. They were introduced in 2003. These powers included putting a curfew on an individual and banning them from certain locations

It looks at “opportunity-reducing measures that involve the management of the immediate environment in as systematic and permanent a way as possible, making committing a crime more difficult and risky, or less rewarding and excusable as judged by a wide range of offenders.

ASBO were giving out for things like, drunken or threatening behaviour, vandalism and graffiti and playing loud music at night. getting an ASBO means you wont be allowed to do certain things, including, going to a certain place, e.g. your town centre, spending time with people who are known for making trouble, and drinking in the street. 

a criticism of this is that it gives people a criminal record for not actually doing anything criminal, you can then also go to jail for breaching the order. ]]> 2020-10-21 13:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848463321 anti social behaviour orders https://padlet.com/humanitiesandsocialscience/dgstfg60iba74lqe/wish/848463745 help limit and control deviant individuals who have engaged in anti-social behaviour.
