Security negligence is when the property owner fails to put in place basic security measures, such as fencing or lighting. People may lock or install alarms in their cars, but their safety can be jeopardized if property owners fail to take reasonable security precautions.
For example, if someone is a victim of a crime at an apartment building where crime is known to be rampant, and measures, such as hiring security guards, were not put into place, a property owner may be negligent.
