Your responses to classmates’  primary posts must be at least 200 words in length.

Using your classmates’ assessments of Targeting of Crime Prevention Programs and your readings as a basis, address the following:

  • After reviewing the initial post, determine which area is targeted –  select one of the other two and discuss a complementary program that  addresses the same issue identified in the initial post which would give  a complimentary and more comprehensive program.
  • Challenge your peers by asking questions that may cause them to add  additional information about their responses in the initial response.

  • How does considering crime from the perspective of the victim or perpetrator change the assessments of the Triangle?
