Great Beginners Guide to Crime Prevention

This is a highly useful book about crime prevention methodology. The material is current, factual, timely and clearly readable. Well documented with graphs and tables. The only real problem I found was in Chapter 3 there is a reference to "Associations" listed in Chapter 11. They aren't there. Otherwise a useful book and well worth the cover price. I strongly recommend this book for Facilities managers, loss/crime prevention specialists, security professionals of all types and everyone interested in safer communities.
