Crime mapping is a geographic information system (GIS) technique used by law

enforcement agencies and researchers to visually represent and analyze crime data. It
involves the process of plotting and displaying various types of crimes, incidents, or
criminal activities on a map, typically using specialized software.

Crime prevention refers to a range of strategies, measures, and actions aimed at

reducing or deterring criminal activities within a community or society. The primary
goal of crime prevention is to proactively address the root causes and risk factors that
contribute to criminal behavior, with the aim of decreasing the incidence of crimes
and enhancing overall public safety. Crime prevention can take various forms and
may involve government agencies, law enforcement, community organizations, and
individuals working together to achieve its objectives.

Crime control refers to a set of strategies, policies, and actions undertaken by law
enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system to prevent, deter, and reduce
criminal activities within a society or community. The primary objective of crime
control is to maintain public safety and order by minimizing and managing criminal
behavior. This concept emphasizes the importance of detecting, apprehending, and
punishing individuals who engage in illegal activities to discourage others from doing
the same.

Crime prevention policies and programs are a set of government and community
initiatives, strategies, and actions designed to reduce the occurrence of criminal
activities, enhance public safety, and minimize the risk factors that contribute to
criminal behavior. These policies and programs are aimed at preventing crime from
happening in the first place or intervening early to address the root causes of criminal
conduct. They play a crucial role in maintaining law and order within a society and
promoting the well-being of its residents.
