Crime control
Methods used to reduce or prevent crime in a society by controlling the actions or possible actions of criminals. These include using criminal penalties as a means of deterring people from committing crimes and temporarily or permanently incapacitating those who have already committed crimes from re-offending. Crime prevention is also widely implemented in many countries, through government police and, in many cases, private policing methods such as private security, home defence and gun control.
