This presentation was built for the Social Entrepreneurship class at BYU-Hawaii. The assignment was to look at solution that solves crime and share a unique way on how you solve property crime in Hawaii.

1. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO DECREASE
THE PROPERTY CRIME IN HAWAII
by Paul Wilson

2. Hawaii’s Property Crime is 28 points
higher than the National Average

3. I looked at what other areas
have done to lower crime in
their community

4. I found one experiment in Dudley,
England that considered how increasing
street lighting decreased crime

5. The experiment took place over a 4 week
period in February through March 1992

6. 129 high powered
lamps were installed
to replace old mercury
street lamps

7. These lights were installed over 5,000 feet of
residential roadway, at intervals of 100 feet

8. This installation
more than doubled
the amount of
useful light

9. RESULT: The frequency of crime decreased
by 41% vs only a 3% decrease in areas
without the additional street lights

10. The experiment found that by
decreasing poorly lit areas created
more visibility, which deterred
potential offenders from acting out

11. Furthermore, there was an increase in
pedestrian traffic and community care-
taking, which became another
deterrent for crime

12. The overall project cost was £55,000.
The new lights saved the city an
estimated £185 on energy cost

13. However, by decreasing
crime by 41%, researchers
estimated a cost savings
£237,794 a year

14. My Solution to Creating
Safer, Secure Communities
in Hawaii

15. SMART
SOLAR
WIND
TRASH
I suggest creating street
lights that are connected to
the web, solar and wind
powered, and have built in
waste cans to keep the
neighborhood clean.
