This section is about crime and what you can do to prevent it. It is the job of the police to fight crime, but we can all help to bring crime down. Most crime is against property, not people, and not many crimes are carefully planned. Most crimes are committed by young men on the spur of the moment, when they see the chance, possessions left in a car or a door or window to a house left open.
You can reduce the risk by securing your car and home. This will also help the police, by giving them more time to tackle serious crime. And that's good for you and your family - because it makes your neighbourhood a safer place to live in.
