Expressing support for the designation of October 2025 as "Crime Prevention Month".
This non-binding resolution (HRES 844) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating October 2025 as "Crime Prevention Month." It encourages federal agencies to fund evidence-based crime prevention programs - like youth mentorship, mental health services, and neighborhood safety initiatives - and urges state/local governments to adopt strategies such as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. The resolution also commends community workers and calls on all citizens to participate in public safety activities during October. It has no legal effect but aims to raise awareness and foster collaboration across communities, government, and private sectors to reduce crime.
