October is Crime Prevention Month, an annual observance since the National Crime Prevention Council initiated it in 1984. Crime Prevention Month is an opportunity for government agencies, civic groups, schools, businesses, and youth organizations to reach out in educating the public, showcasing accomplishments, and exploring new partnerships in facing the challenge of crime in our communities and in our society.
This month has become a time for recognizing and celebrating the practice of crime prevention, and, at the same time, promoting awareness of related issues including victimization, volunteerism, and creating safer, more caring communities. Among other activities, the month-long observance is often used to spotlight successful crime prevention efforts on the local, state, and national levels.
