This bulletin guides the reader through the publication process
for crime prevention compositions, from researching the subject
of the publication to distributing the final product. |

Abstract:
|
Publications are first defined as "anything from a one-page flier
to a brochure, from a poster to a book." The bulletin then
discusses how publications can contribute to crime prevention by
educating, informing, and motivating people in mounting and
implementing crime prevention endeavors. Questions that must be
answered before starting to write are then outlined. These
include such questions as the frequency of the publication and
its format. Other planning issues are the target audience for the
publication, number of copies, distribution logistics, and the
response desired from readers. Steps in the creation of the
publication itself are then described. The steps are researching
the subject; outlining the document; writing, editing, and
rewriting the document; designing the publication; going to
press; and distributing the publication. Some of the challenges
in creating a publication are then identified, including how to
address differences in views on an issue being covered in the
publication. The bulletin concludes with discussions of some of
the rewards of creating a publication and how the publication can
be evaluated. 4 related readings |
