You have the primary responsibility to prevent crime against yourself, loved ones and your properties.Thinking that crime can only happen to someone else and doing nothing to prepare yourself or take precautionary preventive measures, makes you a perfect target for criminals.The ultimate goal of crime prevention is to reduce the risk of being a victim. In order to accomplish this effectively, it is important to remove opportunities for a criminal to take advantage of you or your property.

You are attempting to prevent either victimization or criminalization by presenting an unattractive target to the criminal. This effort at removing opportunities is often referred to as target hardening. Target hardening can be as complex as installing a high tech alarm system or taking a self-defense course to something as simple as locking your door.Making yourself less of a target is simpler than you might think.
