The first paper, on vulnerability, challenges current working definitions of prevention and the practical emphasis on public awareness as the primary tool to prevent the occurrence of this crime. The author maintains that an expanded understanding of prevention to include the vulnerability of at-risk individuals and the fostering of an environment where crime cannot prosper will assist in the development of comprehensive prevention strategies.
