Crime displacement, which is defined as the movement of crime from one place, time, target, offense or tactic to another as a result of a crime prevention initiative, is known to be unhappy. and the unintended effects of crime prevention (Rosenbaum, Lurigio, & Davis, 1998). There are many forms of crime displacement, such as temporal, spatial, targeted, tactical and offensive. These forms all relate to the change an offender makes when crime is repositioned as a result of crime prevention strategies. Although crime displacement is considered a negative effect of crime prevention, crime displacement can have several positive consequences. Crime prevention programs and programs are put in place to assess and combat crime and hopefully prevent it. Programs can be implemented for specific individuals, communities or locations. Crime prevention programs aim to have a specific and intended effect on crime and ultimately eliminate it.

Criminal displacement is commonly referred to as the unwanted problem that accompanies crime prevention and programs. There are various forms of travel that are widely studied and analyzed, some more than others. Overall, the shift in crime is the result of anti-crime policies and the number of opportunities given to offenders. This theory can potentially be cost-effective due to its benefits, such as helping to plan crime prevention strategies, but it is undoubtedly a part of crime prevention that cannot be avoided..
