NU Wide Ranging Essence of Crime Prevention Implementation Stages Discussion

In the book chapter by Homel and Homel (2014), the authors discuss six stages involved in implementing crime prevention programs. The second stage of implementation, known as installation, refers to “all the activities after the decision has been made to adopt a program,” but not including starting the program. Some of the key activities include: identifying funding and resources; hiring staff or even retraining existing staff; setting priorities and expectations; and establishing methods for reaching the target population.

What are 2 or 3 other activities that would be crucial to carry out once a decision has been made to adopt a specific crime prevention program? Describe each one and apply them to a recreation- based after-school program that you are helping to set up in Boston.
