The assessment of shopping center crime risk looked at the area surrounding malls and shopping centers. While the risk of crime around a shopping center may be high, the security measures taken by police and the facility itself
can mitigate the actual risk faced there. Managers at a few shopping centers who responded to questions from APBnews.com said they feel they have an adequately trained and managed security force, proper lighting throughout parking lots and other security systems, such as surveillance cameras.
