The major focus of the institute's LEAA-funded community anticrime program was to implement a working crime prevention model in two police districts with high crime rates: a well-established older neighborhood and a neighborhood experiencing rapid growth and development. Both neighborhoods had high elderly and youth populations, many of whom speak Spanish. Staff members visited over 30 percent of the districts' residents and educated them through crime prevention block watch groups, crime prevention literature, and home security inspections and also introduced them to Operation Identification. Further information efforts include speaking engagements, area meetings, public service announcements, and the publication of a bilingual newsletter. The institute also sought to improve communications between residents and their police departments and to develop local funding alternatives to assure the continuation of a successful crime prevention program upon conclusion of LEAA funding. Other institute activities included the installation of secure doors and locks in older persons' residences. Data tables are included.
