Abstract: While security devices are sometimes maligned, they offer the most efficient means of reducing crime and criminality. The best security measures activate powerful crime prevention mechanisms and are also elegant, that is, ethical and unobtrusive. A strong body of evidence shows how security measures were responsible for the major and prolonged declines in many crime types internationally. Security improvements that remove crime opportunities offer the best hope for reducing crime, cybercrime, future crime and criminality.
