• As a way to minimize crime, different crime control approaches have been developed by criminal justice agencies. The strategy focuses on addressing two significant facts evident in the modern crime debates and the associated control policies. The first one involves many individuals committing most of the crimes and managing overcrowding prisons (Martin, & Sherman, 1986).
