The British Government this week launched a new £1.6 million national ad campaign to help the public protect their homes from burglars. The government hasn’t physicaly said that as the current recession deepens, crime rates are expected to soar, but you just have to read between the lines to see how nervous they are becoming about home security. UK Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, who helped launch the crime ad campaign said, “Most burglars are opportunistic …This campaign is about making sure that people are aware and doing everything they can to protect their homes”.
When it comes to safegaurding large private properties, there is hardly an alarm out there thatcan match the range, price and quality of the Ranch Style Driveway Alarm. This impressive alarm has a range of 900 meters (over half a mile – line of sight), is completely weatherproof and also has a 12 month guarantee included. The Ranch Style Driveway Alarm is quoted as being the next step in the evolution of wireless driveway technology.
A latest report released by Endsleigh Insurance has placed Hull at the very top in UK car crime. Figures show that Hull has an astonishing 122.6% higher rate of car crime than the UK average. Hull was closely followed by Nottingham, Machester and Stockport. Safest place in the UK, according to the report, for vehicle owners was Swindon.
During 2008, Wiltshire Police constantly provided the people of Swindon with crime prevention advice such as parking in garages and well lit areas. Using Steering Wheel Locks are an excellent way to stop your car from being stolen.
Never leave personal objects, in full view of a car seat, like mobile phones, ipods, gameboys etc… . Make sure your doors are locked and secured. If your filling up at a petrol station, don’t leave the keys in the ignition while you go to pay your bill. Simple yet sound advice can help prevent car theft and break-ins.
Suspicious behaviour is always worth checking out or reporting to the Police, especially in neighbourhood environments. But that is hard to do when you are tucked up in bed in the wee, small hours or when you and your family are relaxing at home. It is at these times when your home might be targetted by burglars. And if you live in a home with a large driveway or garden then securing your premises can be even more difficult. Which is why we here at Crime Prevention Products highly recommend the Spectrum Driveway Alarm.
A new study released by Texas University shows that there is no direct correlation between those exposed to violent video games and increasing crime statistics. The author of the study, Christopher Ferguson of Texas A&M International University, exposes that violent video games such as ‘Grand Theft Auto’ and their like, do not desensitise the game player and encourage them to go out and commit criminal behaviour. The study, instead comes to the conclusion that ‘moral panic’ sets in after a violent or horrific crime has taken place and video games are seen as an easy target for politicians, media and parents to blame.
Today the UK has officialy fallen into a recession after the Office for National Statistics released figures showing that the country’s economy has shrunk in two successive quarters. What has that to do with Driveway Alarms, you might ask. For starters, it means crime increases when times are tough. It also means that black markets flourish when there is less money around especially in stolen goods. Putting houses, cars, garages, garden sheds in the line of sight for burglars and thieves.
It’s not exactly rocket science to figure out that the economic downturn is forcing more people to consider criminal activity as a way to make ends meet. Latest police figures are showing dramatic increases in robbery and burglary within the UK. The most affected area was Greater Manchester, where a stark 21% increase in reported incidents has occured. These are real life facts of what recession brings upon a country.
On the 20th of January 2009, America will come to a stand still as Barack Obama’s inauguration as the next President of the United States takes place. One thing is for sure, it will be a security nightmare to manage. Normally, an inauguration of a new president is considered a National Special Security Event, which means the Secret Service is in charge of the countries security for that day. However, given the circumstances, as America makes history by electing its first black president, the country will be under the control of the Secret Service for 4 days.
As if the retail trade isn’t having a tough enough start to the new year, many retailers are now being urged to be extremely vigilant when it comes to checking for counterfeit money. Organised criminals have upped their game in reproducing fake notes and despite the Bank of England’s efforts to make our notes hard to reproduce, there are an estimated 290,000 counterfeit notes circulating in the UK – a total value of £5.8 million.
