A Study on the Cause and Effect of Making

The Case of Kitakyushu

Abstract

This study investigates the cause and effect of making “neighborhood safety maps,” as a tool to make it easier for participants to learn about crime prevention. The results show that learning about crime prevention could be improved by making neighborhood safety maps, and by appropriate communication between young people and adults. This information is useful for people who are planning to make neighborhood safety maps in the future. A partnership, such as the one with university students, is indispensable in stimulating communication between young people and adults about crime issues in a local area.
