What can business and property owners do to deter assault and other violent crimes?
Good lighting is crucial in crime prevention. Criminals will usually target dark spaces for muggings, assaults or rape. The property should be well lit from people entering and exiting. Also, security gates with codes or key requirements are great deterrents. Fences enclosing property are also a good security measure. Finally, heavy duty locks on doors and windows can help prevent crime.
