Publications, which can be anything from a one-page flier to a brochure to a poster or a book, can be relatively easy to create but very effective for helping to fight crime. This bulletin considers how publications can contribute to crime prevention; what it takes to start a publication; what are some of the challenges in creating a publication; how to evaluate your publication; and what some of the rewards are. The bulletin walks an individual through the publication process from researching a subject to distributing the final product. It pinpoints the following steps to keep the publication process moving forward: (1) research your subject; (2) outline your document; (3) write, edit, and rewrite your document; (4) design your publication; (5) go to press; and (6) distribute your product.
