Introduction to Crime PreventionDavid A. MackeyPlymouth State UniversityInTRoduCTIon _____On Sunday, October 4, 2009, the peaceful tranquility of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, was shat-tered after police responded to an open 911 call with no one on the telephone line. Initial news re-ports indicated that 42-year-old Kimberly Cates had been murdered and her 11-year-old daughter severely injured during the course of an early morning home invasion. The mother and daughter had been attacked with a machete during a burglary-turned-murder. Tips immediately began to surface, leading the police to investigate four local youths: Steven Spader, Christopher Gribble, William Marks, and Quinn Glover.
crime prevention remains a central issue for the criminal justice system as well as society as a whole. In 2009, the Uniform Crime Reports index of offenses (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2009c) indicated that more than 1.3 million violent crimes and 9.3 million property crimes have been reported.
