What is it about?
This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the prevention of crime and fear of crime. This study employed a survey questionnaire to 400 pedestrians' perceptions of Kuala Lumpur city's central business district. The result showed that prevention methods through the authorities are effective; however, methods through the communities is ineffective. Further studies should explore the perspective of the criminals to fill in the gap of safe city program's effectiveness and sustainability.
