Situational Crime prevention word is a mix of three word i.e. situational (state, condition, location, site), crime (offence, wrong, sin, fault), prevention (avoidance, hindrance, obstacle, bar). SCP is a new term for western world and more newer to Indian Context. With the help of the application of this term SCP we will find out the multi-dynamic approach for reducing crime. In Anthropology we all know about Human and in Criminology we know all about crime and with this inter-crux we will find out how SCP is relevant, applicable, important and significant in Indian context.
