In the last 4 weeks, you have explored the development of criminological theory, its relationship to the criminal justice system (police, courts, and corrections), and the cost of crime to your community.

In this activity, you are going to further develop your analytical and writing skills while applying critical thinking by researching crime prevention programs that have proven successful in reducing crime.

Using your reading assignments, intellipath® lessons, and other resources, address the following a 2-page paper:

1. Provide separate examples of a successful program or policy for primary, secondary, and tertiary crime prevention. (3 examples total)
2. Show how each of the examples you chose is supported by a specific criminological theory.
3. Explain why you believe the program was a success. Support your position with specific cases or real examples or actual statistics.
