Practicing Crime Prevention: Contributing to the Safety and Vitality of Your Community

• Articulate the benefits of prevention and explain the advantages of participating in the crime prevention efforts;
• Identify the characteristics and principles of effective research-based prevention practices;
• Acquire skills to develop partnerships that lead to safer communities;
• Recognize changing roles and responsibilities of community supervision practitioners as crime prevention practices are implemented; and
• Identify a local crime problem and develop an action plan for local implementation of a crime prevention initiative.  

In an effort to distribute the crime prevention curriculum in an efficient and cost effective manner, APPA has placed it on a compact disk.  Each module contains the following components:  

Module Overview that provides trainers with a brief summary of the purpose and contents of the module, including time frame, equipment and materials needed, materials referenced, and a suggested agenda.  

Presenting Outline to assist facilitators in presenting information and leading the various activities in each module.  

Master Visual Aids that can be used as PowerPoint presentation or copied on overhead transparencies to assist the facilitator with presentations and activities, and  

Participant Materials that can be duplicated and distributed to participants for use during the training program.
