Document Summary

The more crime we have the harder it is, the more our community is set back. The economy is improved if we improve economic opportunity but it is difficult with the collateral consequences. We are not doing a good job of catching criminals and putting them through the ringer. Prison / jail sentences = 320, 908. Primary prevention- we have problems in our communities that increase crime, places not people. Secondary prevention- the developmental process that make crime even more likely to occur , people not places (opportunity theory)
