1. An anti-crime security system, comprising:
- access means for providing an entrance and an exit to an establishment and for defining an enclosed area;
sensor means for monitoring ingress and egress of a perpetrator through said access means and conditions within said establishment; and
central processing means for receiving input from said sensor means regarding the ingress and egress of the perpetrator and the conditions within said establishment and for controlling said access means such that when the perpetrator is inside the establishment and then a warning status is established, the perpetrator must reenter the enclosed area in order to exit the establishment, wherein the enclosed area is bounded by inner and outer doors which are automatically locked when the perpetrator reenters the enclosed area, whereupon an operator of said anti-crime security system controls a locking mechanism of the inner and outer doors, and the perpetrator cannot exit the enclosed area if a control panel of said anti-crime security system is disabled or the operator of said anti-crime security system is disabled or killed.

20. An anti-crime security system for an establishment, comprising:
-
access means for providing an entrance and an exit to the establishment and for defining an enclosed area, wherein the enclosed area is bounded by an inner door and an outer door; and central processing means which operates in a plurality of operating modes, each automatically correlated with different degrees of traffic flow into the establishment and thereby providing different degrees of security for the establishment;
wherein the plurality of operating modes are set to a time schedule identified by an operator of said anti-crime security system to control said access means, in response to traffic flow during a time of day, wherein the plurality of operating modes include a first mode wherein either or both of the inner door and the outer door can be opened;
a second mode wherein one door cannot be opened unless the other door is closed and locked;
a third mode wherein the inner door cannot be opened when a sensor inside said enclosed area detects a dangerous object that is being brought into the establishment; and
a fourth mode wherein either the inner door or the outer door is locked and can be opened only with intervention by the operator;
wherein said central processing means operates in only one of the plurality of operating modes at any given time.
