Items related to The Politics of Crime Prevention
This book is a comprehensive account of crime prevention policy in England and Wales. It examines crime prevention policy under the Conservative Government and examines the direction that the newly elected Labour administration is taking. Particular attention is paid to the years 1995 to 1997. The book goes beyond the Home Office and examines the roles of the Police, Probation, Crime Concern, NACRO, the Local Government Association and the role of the national Community Safety Network in national crime prevention policy making. It examines how some agencies influence policy and how others have struggled to have a voice.The methods used to conduct the research include interviewing key persons involved in national crime prevention policy making; distributing questionnaires to police and probation officers of all ranks in Boroughville; and analyzing documents from various organizations such as the Police Probationer Training manual and minutes to the Association of Chief Police Officers sub-committee on crime prevention from their inaugural meeting in September 1986 until May 1995.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, xi + 213pp, NOT ex-library. Signs of gentle handling wear, a bit of external shelfwear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Examines the organizational structure of crime prevention in England and Wales between 1979 and 1996 with particular emphasis on events in the last two years. The text focuses on the relationship between the Home Office, police service, probation service, crime concern, NACRO, and local authority associations, as well as the definition of crime prevention in each organization. It presents in detail, the development of policy and decision-making in relation to crime prevention in this country and determines who influences this policy and how it is structured at a national level. It includes the minutes from the Association of Chief Police Officers sub-committee on crime prevention from their inaugural meeting in September 1986 until May 1995, and the Police Probationer Training Foundation Course manual. The book concludes that crime prevention policy has been very much influenced by the Conservative party, and in particular the identity of the Home Secretary and minister responsible for crime prevention. Crime prevention policy is forever changing, influencing government funding for different projects, increased individual responsibility and a diminishing role for the state in crime prevention are advocated.
