Numbers of crime prevention volunteer groups have been gradually expanding in Kumamoto prefecture, which has contributed to higher safety in residential area. However, those greatly supportive members are increasingly aged and the inevitable alternative, new supporters – the younger generation, especially parent- generation manly from 30s to 40s, are relatively few at the moment while dual career household ration is rapidly rising in Japan. We conduct research on the present situation and feasibility of parentgeneration participation in local community. The result shows their high interests in various local activities, regardless of their diversified work styles. We firstly suggest the importance of family communication about crime prevention for the sake of safe community planning. Then discuss the concrete approach how higher participation rate of parent-generation can be achieved in local communities, including crime prevention activities. People need to address disclosing and sharing various local information and build flexible participatory arrangements for dual career families.
