About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a concise and authoritative overview of the full scope of crime prevention, including foundations, theory, application, and techniques. It details how theory sets the groundwork for the practical application of successful crime prevention strategies and illustrates the foundations of and need for crime prevention, the best approaches to implementing crime prevention programs, and the issues that need to be considered when evaluating crime prevention programs. The book is split into three parts, which include:

Theoretical Foundations. This part includes a brief overview of the history and growth of crime prevention as a field of study, and in practice
Crime Patterns and Concentration. This part covers the causes and effects of both large- and small-scale crime concentration, with particular focus on the development of major forms of crime concentration, including hotspots, risky facilities, hot products, repeat offenders, and recurring victims
Crime Prevention Application. This part is centered on the practice of crime prevention, focusing on the development and implementation of actual crime prevention programs, including the role of both law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies

Understanding Crime Prevention has built-in pedagogical features, including a range of tables, boxed examples, and case studies, as well as discussion questions. This book is essential reading for advanced courses on crime prevention, as well as related courses on policing, crime control, theory, and criminal justice.
