Abstract

While the business sector in Botswana generally acknowledges the importance of crime prevention, its involvement in national crime prevention efforts is peripheral. Businesses are more concerned with criminal threats to their survival and operational efficiency rather than criminal threats to the wider community. This businesses’ interest is to maximise profits. However, business involvement in crime prevention beyond the enterprise constitutes not only ethical and philanthropic behaviour but also business-enlightened self-interest. By incorporating crime prevention into their corporate social responsibility agendas, business entities would be not only contributing to the creation of a safe and secure environment for their communities but also reducing the cost of doing business which crime imposes.
