Abstract
While security devices are sometimes maligned they offer probably the most efficient means of reducing crime and criminality. The best security measures activate powerful crime prevention mechanisms and are also elegant, that is, they are ethical and unobtrusive. There is now a strong body of evidence that security measures were responsible for the major and prolonged declines in many crime types internationally. Security improvements offer the best hope for reducing cybercrime and other forms of crime and criminality.
