Neighborhood Steps To Safety(TM) Contest Promotes Home Security as Temperatures Rise
(firmenpresse) - HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/12 -- has launched the to promote home security and neighborhood safety as temperatures begin to rise around the country. The contest encourages participants to collaborate with neighbors on home security and neighborhood safety best practices before the warmer summer months when crime rates increase.
An excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article quotes Jerome McKean on the subject:
Jerome McKean, an associate professor of criminology at Ball State University in Indiana, asserts that "there is a definite correlation" between an increase in temperature and an increase in crime. "The peak months for most forms of crime are July and August, especially for property crimes."
One of the reasons that property crimes -- burglaries, grand larcenies and auto thefts -- go up, the professor said, is because the most frequent perpetrators of such crimes aren't in school. Mr. McKean said the peak age for arrests for property crimes is 16. At the same time, more people take more trips and vacations during the summer months, making homes more vulnerable to burglars.
SafeMart's Neighborhood Steps To Safety™ Contest asks residents around the country to submit their list of the best practices that their neighborhood uses to keep families safe. Installing home security systems that are monitored by the police and fire department, displaying yard signs, communicating travel schedules with neighbors and local authorities are all recommended by SafeMart.
"We launched the Neighborhood Steps To Safety™ Contest to encourage neighborhoods to come together around a common goal of improving the safety of their neighborhoods. This is especially critical as families travel more frequently in the summer leaving homes vacant and unprotected," says Chris Johnson, CEO of SafeMart.
