Abstract

Crime prevention is considered as the main agenda of the government. Nevertheless, it has usually been overlooked that the victim him/herself can be the contributing factor to the criminal incident. The main problem is in educating the community on the preventive measures that could be taken in order to avoid victimization of individuals. Such suggestions are based on Islamic principles. Hence this paper discusses the preventive measures that can be observed by both individuals and the community to prevent criminal victimization.
