Abstract

Crime involves different individuals interacting in complex social and physical settings. Often, crime problem solvers reach for a common generic response, when they need to consider a number of possible solutions. Thinking tools can help. In this article, we show how uniting an injury prevention tool—the Haddon Matrix used widely in public health—and a crime prevention tool—the crime problem triangle used widely in policing—can provide guidance to crime problem solvers. We call our hybrid the General Problem-Solving Matrix (GPSM). We apply GPSM to rape and burglary to illustrates its features. We conclude the article by examining the alternative versions of GPSM in crime prevention.

一般问题解决矩阵（GPSM）：将预防犯罪和公共卫生工具结合起来

犯罪涉及不同个体在复杂的社会和自然环境中的互动。通常情况下，犯罪问题的解决者在需要考虑多种可能的解决方案时，会寻求一种通用的应对方法。思维工具可以提供帮助。在本文中，我们展示了如何将伤害预防工具--广泛应用于公共卫生领域的哈登矩阵--与犯罪预防工具--广泛应用于警务领域的犯罪问题三角--结合起来，为犯罪问题解决者提供指导。我们称这种混合方法为 "一般问题解决矩阵"（GPSM）。我们将 GPSM 应用于强奸和入室盗窃，以说明其特点。文章的最后，我们探讨了 GPSM 在犯罪预防中的其他版本。
