Abstract

Crime prevention through social intervention involves various programs that aim to reduce crime rates in society. These programs require good coordination between government agencies, law enforcement officials, and the community. This research aims to analyze how the effectiveness of social intervention can be measured, by assessing the success of the program based on quantitative and qualitative data. It also explores how the role of inter-agency and community coordination affects the success of crime prevention programs. Effective programs show a decrease in crime rates and an increased sense of safety in the community. However, challenges remain, especially in adapting programs for different social contexts. Therefore, continuous evaluation and customization to local needs are necessary to increase long-term success. Synergy between community institutions and communities is key in creating sustainable security. Successful programs must also encompass a broader approach, involving social change and addressing the structural issues underlying crime.
