Bill > HRes844

This resolution expresses support for designating October 2025 as "Crime Prevention Month" while highlighting significant crime-related statistics and challenges facing the United States. The resolution acknowledges that global counterfeit goods sales generate approximately $2 trillion annually, and the FBI reported a violent crime occurring every 25.9 seconds in 2024. Drawing on data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the resolution notes 22.5 violent victimizations per 1,000 persons and estimates that personal and property crimes impose a $2.6 trillion economic burden. The resolution commends law enforcement, community organizers, and volunteers working to prevent crime, and encourages federal agencies to support evidence-based crime prevention grants focusing on youth mentorship, behavioral health treatment, and safe housing design. It also calls on state and local governments to incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles and expand public-private partnerships. Furthermore, the resolution urges all U.S. citizens to observe Crime Prevention Month through programs and activities that promote public safety, showcase community success stories, and reinforce the collective responsibility of building safer, more resilient communities.
