MODELS OF CRIME PREVENTIONCrime prevention is contentious. Different people have different conceptions as to what it ought to refer, and different agendas in terms of the kinds of organisational and philosophical objectives they are trying to meet. To appreciate the nature of these differences it is useful to consider three abstract models of crime prevention (see Figure 1). Each model identifies the key focus and concepts of a particular approach, preferred strategies of intervention, dominant conception of "crime," the role of the "community" as part of the crime prevention effort, and relationship to "law-and-order" strategies. In drawing up my presentation, I have drawn upon the work of Iadicola (1986), McNamara (1992), and Cunneen and White (1995), and have concentrated mainly on those community-based strategies that attempt to stop offending behaviour before it occurs.
