Crime Prevention for Houses of Worship

by Chester L. Quarles, Paula L. Ratliff

Increasingly, worship centers are being targeted by criminals. They prey in parking lots and in the worship facilities. Worshipers are intent on prayer and worship and are less focused on the crime risks contemporary to our time. Crime Prevention for Houses of Worship is designed to help clergy, church laity, and crime prevention specialists implement positive and affirming approaches in worship centers. Properly administrated crime prevention approaches can enhance the worship experience, rather than detract from it.
