Crime is the result of the desire or wish to commit the crime, the ability or knowledge on how to commit the crime and the opportunity to commit the crime. This is often referred to as the Crime Triangle. If any side of this crime triangle is removed we reduce crime. Citizens should focus on reducing the opportunity for a crime to occur.
