Crime control refers to methods taken to reduce crime in a society. Penology often focuses on the use of criminal penalties as a means of deterring people from committing crimes and temporarily or permanently incapacitating those who have already committed crimes from re-offending.[1][2] Crime prevention is also widely implemented in some countries, through government police and, in many cases, private policing methods such as private security and home defense.
