Crime prevention
and you—you can
make a difference
I N In a four part «eric*
Crime prevention It means mak
ing it harder for crime to happen It
means reducing the chances for
criminals to victimize you and your
neighbors It means protecting peo
ple and property, and increasing
community safety and well-being
Most of all. it means people like you
and me taking responsibility for our
own and our neighbors' security,
and knowing and working with local
law enforcement and our neighbors
to protect our hom es, our
neighborhoods and our children
Sheriff Roy Drago of Morrow
County will be offering crime
prevention in a four-part senes of ar
ticles aimed at educating local
citizens and encouraging participa
non in neighborhood m ine preven
tion programs
Chances of an Amcncan citizen
being a victim of a vlolent crime are
greater than that of being injured in
a traffic accident Statistics indicate
about 40 million entries arc commit
ted each year In 1982 an estimated
3 2% of the nation's population (or
about I out of 3 1 persons age 12 and
older) was the victim of rape, rob
bery. or assault This is equivalent
to approxim ately six m illion
Amencans
"Crime and the fear of crime are
big problems which influence how
we live," the sheriff said "Figures
and statistics don't tell the whole
story because eac h inc ident of crime
hurts all of us-- our neighborhoods,
our schools, our businesses, and our
children '*
"The most important resources
we have in reducing crime and fear
in our neighborhoods are neighbors
working together to prevent crime,"
the sheriff added
Citizens watching out for crime
and reporting it to law enforcement
have really made inroads against
burglary in many communities
Cities throughout the country have
reported steady declines in crime in
their communities
"Crime prevention activities are
practical and direct approaches to
reducing crim e and fear in
neighborhoods. " the sheriff saul
"Crime prevention is working in
neighborhoods all around the coun
try. and it can work in ours "
You can check with your local law
enforcement agenc ies to see if your
community has a neighborhood
crime prevention program, or you
can find out how to start one
yourself
"All that's needed for most
neighborhoid crime prevention ac
tivités are your eyes, your ears, a lit
tle of your time, and a lot of caring
about the well being of your
neighborhood," Sheriff Drago
concluded
