well as others. Byrne and Marx argued that there are two types of Technology Crime
Prevention Innovation. These are hard Technology Crime Prevention Innovation as well

Prevention Innovations are advanced street lighting along with closed circuit television
cameras (CCTV). On the other hand, the soft Technology Crime Prevention Innovations
are current generation of criminal’s risk classification methods, and appearance of threat
