Understanding Crime Prevention: The Case Study Approach

Much of today's policy on preventing crime is driven by political ideology and anecdotal evidence, with insufficient planning and evaluation. This book contributes to improved practice in crime prevention, primarily through the lessons from successful projects. It provides an overview of current research in the field, and an exposition of some of the best case-studies from the past . It is a must-read for security practitioners, crime prevention and community safety officers, police, research and policy officers, politicians, and students and academics in the field.
