A one dimensional measure!) Amount of money spent on crime prevention or mitigation (Does not show connection to economic or environmental issues!) Number of reported crimes (violent, personal, property) (Does not show connection to economic, social or environment issues! A one dimensional measure!)

  8. Education “Education is an investment in the social capital of a community. It provides individuals with skills and abilities. [It] develops citizens who are capable of working together to create, maintain, and enhance a sustainable society.” Maureen Hart Sustainable Community Indicators measure the connections between different segments of the community, not just the level of crime in the community. Education and the ability to afford basic needs are keys to individual well-being, and have a direct connection to public safety!
