Hello all.
It’s great to meet with you.
Just to know with whom I speak,
Can you raise your hands
If you ever commit a crime?
(Laughter)
I see that some of you do not want to frighten those sitting beside them,
(Laughter)
Or perhaps have forgotten
Fare evasion, theft of office supplies,
Theft of goods from the store in childhood,
(clap)
Tax evasion,
(Laughter)
In fact, all crimes.
I work a lot with the police, judges and politicians,
So I am afraid that I can not give you any hint
Whether you have violated the law,
(Laughter)
But I will share with you the secret:
People who raised their hands
Natural!
(Laughter)
Nine out of ten people may have already committed a crime
At some point in their lives.
Do not feel neglected, just because you did not do.
(Laughter)
There is a full branch in the science of crime dedicated to your study.
The title has been allocated to you:
You are reluctant to life.
(Laughter)
I am not here today to justify immoral actions.
On the contrary, the crimes that seem trivial may have devastating effects.
Think of the potential impact of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Tax fraud on our economy impact.
The impact of vandalism, trash and graffiti,
On Smahna for children playing in the street.
But at the same time, I do not want to close doors
And create the largest, and certainly the most beautiful Greek prison
Just because we have broken the law at the time.
I think we are human beings,
And as human beings, I think we are strongly influenced by
And to raise the temptation of crime
In our society.
We all have turning points.
We all face the moments, where the strength overcome our ethics.
Although my work in the field of crime has taught me one thing,
It is that human behavior
It is more flexible than we would like to believe,
Today, I would like some ways for your participation
Where circumstances constitute even the worst human behavior.
And more,
I want to show you that we can reduce crime dramatically,
Addressing the moments that make us criminals.
Let me explain it,
The first step to understand
How can we become more secure and happier
Require us a great solution puzzle.
It is for car theft,
It is epical, and diffuse across nations and contracts.
Some of you may remember that in the eighties and early nineties,
The cars were crimes of serious and growing problem.
And it became the driving stolen cars in order to have fun ritual reaching adolescents.
It was natural to go to your car
To find broken and stolen audio system window.
At the beginning of the nineties, something changed.
Car ownership was on the rise, but auto theft fell.
The decline has continued for more than two decades.
It was a dramatic shift.
Look at England or Wales or Scotland,
There is becoming less likely six times
To go out of your door to find your car stolen
Than was the case 25 years ago.
It was stolen cars less than one million times in the United States last year.
What has changed fundamentally?
Why do better?
I’ll give you a hint.
This is the Nissan Sunny.
This Nissan Bluebird.
If you own any of them in the United Kingdom in recent years,
I have bad news for you:
Your car is more vulnerable to theft
Whether you own any other type of car.
This is the 1996 Honda Accord, the car most stolen in America last year.
We conclude that the thieves have a taste of lousy cars.
(Laughter)
But the reason that these cars are the most vulnerable to theft,
It is that they are old and hopelessly locked.
Vsearh old impenetrable coat relationship or a brick,
There is no warning to them Evzek
When managing a screwdriver to run,
Or reach ignition wires together.
When I came out of these cars from circulation,
This led to a significant decline in auto theft.
Now, the truth is
That modern cars are still easy to steal
If you know how.
You just need to buy
Some simple technical equipment from the black market.
The need for some planning.
But most car thieves were Menthazee opportunities.
The majority of this amount of planning is far away.
Making crimes less attractive and more difficult,
It was enough to restructure millions of decisions every year,
And to prevent millions of committing crimes.
Let’s solve another puzzle:
To understand how to handle the moments that we turned to the criminals.
It happened on a sunny resort in Australia: Surfers Paradise.
It is one of those places that thrive on tourism and nightlife.
But in the early nineties, he has been heard to collapse.
Violence was spreading in nightclubs and bars,
And sometimes it caused the deaths.
One punch can kill.
Not because of its power alone,
But a secondary injury when bumping your head pier.
In 1993, something suddenly changed.
Violence has fallen in bars and clubs,
It fell by 52% in just one year.
What is the latest difference?
Was insurance again?
Or maybe a big shift in the police’s plans?
Or more stringent sanctions?
No.
Many of the small things.
I work in a generation Dando Institute for Security Sciences and Crime
At University College London,
It is known as the G-DI.
Director Jill Dando Institute is Professor Richard Rthl,
It was one of the team members of academics, businessmen and officials, and two policemen,
And who designed together this great crime decline.
They worked from a simple premise
Namely, that the causes of violence are usually very trivial:
Kalshjar about the spilled drink and the occasional scramble,
Or fighting on the few taxis available by the end of the night,
Emotional or pretend to influence or defend beloved.
And they made to reduce the chances of these things happening.
First, they tried to reduce the consumption of alcohol.
They reduced the number of incentives drinks,
Happy hours less, and offers two and three less,
Rest assured of making non-alcoholic beverages cheaper,
And that food is available most of the time.
At the end, people are less likely to Tosrk if you’re sober
And less likely to be misinterpreted things in the crowd.
This led to the identification into reducing conflict.
I do not know if you noticed,
But it is difficult to enter into a conflict
The other party was not interested.
So they worked to find
Mixed environment more than the types of clients,
And not only attract fans of the drink.
They changed their message ad,
And to prevent those who are drunk from entering,
To experience the new consumer behaviors.
Trained security personnel differently.
Instead of intimidating people and embarrass,
Security staff tried to find a welcoming environment,
They expected and eased unit conflicts.
These changes together is what this latest decline in crime.
What I find interesting so,
We are not seeking to make things more secure,
But to make it the most beautiful.
Vtkulail pressure and stress
It is a very good way to reduce violence,
In part, because little of it is actually deliberate.
A number of local governments in England and Wales
Improving transportation time late at night in the city center.
They found that violence rates have declined,
With a smaller number of people wandering at night to look for trouble.
If they have verified it,
I think they Sajdoa that sexual assaults also declined,
It jumps where fewer women in cars are not licensed and unknown
To arrive to their homes in the cold nights.
Taxi drivers hate “uber” everywhere!
But to reduce costs and increase the availability of taxis,
And reduce anonymity driver and passenger,
I guess that this is causing the decline of violent crimes.
These two examples illustrate
That we can reduce violent crime and robbery
Addressing the moments that make us criminals.
More and there.
Sometimes you can prevent the chances of committing crimes completely.
In America it is the theft of bus drivers at high rates,
Even some American states began
A system where the application is no longer possible for the driver to pay the rest of the account.
And they have installed the deposit boxes are paid by taxi.
Drivers can no longer access the money.
Sometimes we need to form
Environments, and take criminal decisions
With more precision.
The next time you have found the shop,
I want you to think,
Does the design encourage or discourage the commission of a crime.
Chain stores 7-Eleven did so in the eighties.
After consulting thieves convicted,
They decided that it is best
The transfer of cash from the back office to the front.
And also got rid of all the signs on the windows
Even the cash office is visible from the street.
And improved lighting inside and outside the store.
The reduced number of entrances and exits.
Over ten years,
Where it was applied across the country,
Thefts decreased by two-thirds,
While the theft rates go up everywhere else.
It has become clear now
We need to consider in detail the circumstances of the crime
And develop schemes designed specifically to reduce crime.
Intrusion and robbery became less everywhere
When people developed secure their homes.
But government agencies discovered
To fill the alleys behind the houses, improve lighting,
Has made a difference.
It should be clear that this is not the function of the police only.
Business people, engineers, technicians, designers, they can change crime rates.
After all, is there a goal more enticing than this to write on the walls?
But what about it?
Apparently, this mark, unlike its predecessor,
It lasted for two years
Before a person can cram what the letter “F”.
(Laughter)
Now I will have a little bit skeptical about this approach to reduce crime.
Perhaps you think that crime is due to poverty.
Or that criminals are corrupt too,
It will not stop them stay behind bars.
In both cases, if we make one type of crime is less temptation
Criminals will find opportunities to commit other crimes.
My colleague at the Jill Dando Institute Professor Kate Bowers,
I looked specifically this question.
Her team examined 102 successful initiative to prevent crime,
To find out whether the compensation for the low crime rate
Increasing the rate in neighboring areas,
Or that the decline in the rate of type of crime
Has been achieved at the expense of increasing another type of crimes.
What they found?
In a quarter of cases,
They found that some crimes have moved to neighboring areas,
But this transition was not complete,
So the end result of fewer crimes.
In half of the cases,
Transmission of the crimes did not happen,
In a quarter of cases, they found something else happens,
Instead of the decline in crime in the area to increase it in another area,
Was the decline in crime halo effect:
Where the low rate of crime has spread in neighboring areas.
When you think about it, you will find a logical order.
If you do Mnatm gang shooting,
Or Qlltm insulting one of the drunk,
For you the possibility of revenge you prevent place soon.
If you have to stop the theft of a bicycle,
For you Tqllon temptation
Victim frustrating to do stealing one too,
Or buy one stolen from the black market for their licenses.
When you enter the store these days,
It does not occur to me steal something.
But what if I went yesterday, and the owner of the store was the successor,
I was in a hurry,
I went out without pay?
The commission of a crime to reshape the cognitive horizons,
And knowing that the crime are common to do so, too.
Imagine you’re a teenager grew up place
Where it is usual to steal teenagers cars.
How it can not affect your outlook on acceptable behavior?
And commit a crime increases the friction of other offenders.
Harmful entanglements with the criminal justice system.
A number of studies followed people through their lives,
To study the impact of various events on the behavior of individuals.
They are conducting a secret study,
If they find teenagers
The same crimes committed in adolescence,
Only one of them was arrested and punished,
Their lives vary in unexpected ways.
Instead of becoming a person who is arrested
Less likely to commit a crime,
Where Deter,
Found that the person who was convicted and punished
Are more likely to participate in crimes after years.
So our success by reducing crime is not only real,
But also has wider benefits.
For this reason
I think we are close to solving the mystery of another larger:
Crime rates have dropped dramatically recently.
The presence of the best insurance for businesses and individuals,
The approach is dedicated to reducing the temptation to commit a crime design,
It has most of the credit.
I’m really optimistic
We are on the cusp
Flag New Sexy Crime Prevention.
But I have a deep fear:
I am afraid that we all will not let it happen.
To invest in crime based on the experience and the prevention guide,
We need to shift resources from traditional crime feedback,
And to abandon beliefs lingering crime and our minds causes.
Those on the left, like to believe
That poverty and inequality are the only reason for the crime,
And that we can not do something about crime
Unless we deal with this well-established social issues.
Those on the right, believe that the cause of crime is the tolerance of society
And that if we did not have more police and strict sanctions
You will not be able to do something about crime.
We all believe strongly that
Crime is the source of criminals.
We are trying to punish criminals or change
Instead of, the use of more effective ways,
The treatment of the moments that drive people to crime.
For as long as I wondered about the secret of our obsession with criminals.
Perhaps because of the media accounts of the crime:
They are bombing us daily and raises fear for policy support punitive.
Perhaps it is our diet of moral tales and crime novels,
Stories such as investigators and James Bond movies,
Where the film ends with the arrest of the villain,
Or better yet, to fall from the edge of the cliff.
Or perhaps simply, we are eager to less complex world.
Where complex problems such as crime has one simple solution.
Where people
Either generally good or incredibly bad.
Whatever the reasons,
We always forget
That our behavior changes according to the circumstances we face.
We forget that we changed and grow up as we age.
Criminals penitents proof.
And forget that in real life,
The film remains constant for a long time after the arrest of the offender.
If car theft is still easy, it will continue to steal.
Drinking binge cultures and environments in stressful
Will breed violence remain.
I want to change our view of the crime,
So that we can change our reaction on them.
So I invite you all today to recognize
That we can reduce crime dramatically
Addressing the moments that we turned to the criminals.
I invite you to challenge those who say we can not do anything about the crime,
Those who say
Crime prevention can only create larger prisons.
I invite you to support and vote for
Politicians who want to prevent crime and not just punish.
If you did, I think that we can create a better world
More secure and happier,
What it is today.
The world help us all to be good.
thank you
