ABSTRACT
We have seen that both physical design and neighborhood crime prevention programs have had an impact on crime and fear. At the same time, that impact has been limited in important ways. One shortcoming is that many areas and people are not reached or not involved in the programs. Another potential problem is displacement which may limit the absolute reductions in crime or fear. One response is to utilize programs that reach a wider range of people and engender greater participation. Such eorts would limit the alternatives available to potential oenders. e mass media oers one avenue for creating a more widespread eort.
