Abstract
This paper generally aims to provide an outline for the development of crime prevention studies in a
more integrated way. Furthermore, in particular this paper aims to provide answers to the challenges of the
phenomenon of sustainable crime in urban areas and a partial crime approach that is seen as unable to address
the issue of continuing crime in urban areas. This paper demonstrates that a holistic approach is required in the
study of crime prevention and control in order to analyze the issue of continuing crime in urban public spaces.
This paper ultimately generates a model of solutions to the disadvantage of disintegrative crime prevention
studies and provides theoretical recommendations for integrative models of crime prevention, which can give
rise to integrated policy on a practical level, which allows the flexibility of crime prevention aspects reacting
to the threat of crime.
