<p>This research introduces and adapts the 25 techniques of Situational Crime  Prevention for use in counterinsurgency operations. These techniques are based  on a set of powerful theories within the fields of Environmental and Situational  Criminology. Situational Prevention is a strategy that addresses specific crimes,  or insurgent activity, by managing, designing, and manipulating the environment  in a manner that seeks to increase the risk to the insurgent, while reducing the  insurgent's potential reward for committing the act. The 25 techniques offer a  practical means to apply these theories to the reality of counterinsurgency  operations. Use of the 25 techniques would expand the repertoire of preventive  countermeasures, and enable a security force to intervene in the causal chain  events to prevent or reduce the occurrence of insurgent violence and crime.  These techniques originate from five core principles: increasing effort, increasing  risk, reducing rewards, removing excuses, and reducing provocations.
