A systemic review of Malaysian public safety programs for preventing property crime

Abstract

Using a comprehensive assessment of the relevant previous research, the author of this essay aims to explore the public safety programs for preventing property crime in Malaysia. It analyses English-language articles on property crime and prevention in Malaysia from a variety of significant databases, primarily Google Scholar and MyJournal. For the purpose of selecting relevant articles, literature search was carried out using the keywords including crime prevention, property crime, and safety. Two databases were mined for a total of 433 articles, and a three-step screening process yielded 30 research that fulfilled our threshold requirement for theme synthesis. The study's literature evaluation offered insight into numerous property crime prevention tactics. A greater emphasis should be placed on the social approach to minimize the crime rate, particularly among the poor. Additionally, police and residents should be encouraged to work together to prevent property crime in Malaysia.
