RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING OCTOBER AS
NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION MONTH
WHEREAS, crime and the fear of crime erode our citizens' sense of well
being and personal safety, casting a shadow of insecurity over the lives of too
many Californians; and
WHEREAS, California law enforcement officials attribute a portion of
the recent reduction in crime to increased public awareness and involvement in
community crime prevention programs such as Neighborhood Watch, Youth Crime and
Delinquency Prevention, Personal Safety and Victims Rights programs; and
WHEREAS, it is essential to continue to inform and encourage the
involvement of the public in effective crime prevention programs to help reduce
the number of crime victims in California; and
WHEREAS, an emphasis on crime prevention as a means of reducing crime
provides a forum for government, law enforcement, the business community and
every citizen to continue to seek solutions to crime and to identify effective
prevention strategies; and
WHEREAS, crime prevention programs implemented at the statewide and
local level require the support and involvement of government, law enforcement,
the business community and citizens; and
WHEREAS, during the month of October we observe California Domestic
Violence Awareness Week, October 6-i2, to increase public awareness of this serious
problem affecting people of all ages, races and economic levels; and
