Environmental Criminology Destination - Coursework Example

I personally think that this assumption is accurate in that crimes can be controlled by monitoring the surroundings. it is different from the other techniques as it direct monitors and controlling the surroundings. People are being watched and actions are taken immediately by the concerning authorities.

 Environmental manipulation occurs when the surroundings of an individual are used to prevent crimes. These include access control, surveillance, residential areas which include limiting the activities of pedestrians and other unrelated people, use of close-circuit cameras, activity support, and motivation reinforcement. Observing all the methods and techniques of environmental manipulation to control crime; I personally think that the use of close-circuit cameras would be much effective in crime controlling as such a technique would prevent more crime and people would be aware of the fact that they are being watched by the official authorities who are monitoring their actions. It would help in controlling drug-related crimes more effectively.
