This chapter offers a skeleton framework for preventing crime at risky places by fusing conventional analysis approaches with systems thinking. We outline a series of steps that can be utilized to support systems thinking for developing a user-informed, in-depth understanding of crime problems at risky places. This requires us to acknowledge the interconnectedness of multiple factors present at risky places and move away from conventional reductionist linear methods and preconceived ideas about addressing crime problems at risky places. This allows us to think more freely about the nature of the crime problems at risky places and to re-frame our conventional methods through a systems thinking perspective to develop long-term sustainable approaches to crime prevention.
