The Little Yellow Crime Prevention Handbook has been digitised

The Little Yellow Crime Prevention Handbook has been launched as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This digital upgrade makes the handbook’s practical advice more accessible, interactive, and available on any device – giving you crime prevention at your fingertips.

The Crime Prevention Handbook is a well-established resource packed with practical advice on home security, personal safety, and crime prevention. The content has been refreshed and rewritten for the public, making it a valuable resource for everyone.

A PWA is essentially just a website that can behave like an app on a phone or computer. It is not software that gets installed onto systems, and it does not interact with internal IT networks or databases. Because of this, it does not require IT security approval in the same way that installed apps or system integrations would.

The PWA:

Runs through a standard web browser (like Chrome, Edge, Safari)

Is accessed via a web link

Does not connect to internal systems

Does not store sensitive data locally

Does not pose a security risk beyond a normal website

How to use the PWA from a desktop/laptop:

Click on the link https://crimeprevention.securedbydesign.com/

This will open in your web browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Safari)

Use it just like a normal website
