Book Synopsis Crime Prevention Studies by : Ronald V. Clarke
Download or read book Crime Prevention Studies written by Ronald V. Clarke and published by Criminal Justice Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine chapters in this volume of Crime Prevention Studies are organized into sections on crime analysis, evaluation, theory, and implementation. Crime analysis: Ross Homel and Jeff Clark examine the role of intoxication in violence at pubs and clubs in Queensland, and demonstrate the preventive impact of a local code of practice. A study by Zachery Fleming, and Patricia and Paul Brantingham explores the site-specific and situational characteristics of auto-theft in British Columbia, and the resulting implications for prevention. Ronald V. Clarke and Pat Mayhew assess the effect of parking patterns on car theft risk in Britain, and they offer recommendations based on their findings. Evaluation: Nancy G. La Vigne reports that installation of a high-security, computerized phone system reduced both costs and inmate violence at New York City's Rikers Island jail. Crime reduction lessons from an evaluation of walkway demolition at a London (UK) public housing estate are presented by Barry Poyner. Theory: Derek Cornish uses the concept of a 'script' to examine how events and episodes unfold in the commission of crimes, and discusses the relevance of this type of analysis to situational prevention. Rene B.P. Hesseling's review of 55 published articles suggests that displacement is not an inevitable side effect of crime prevention programs. Implementation: In light of evidence that the social and situational approaches to crime prevention are incompatible, Daniel Gilling assesses the implications for multi-agency crime prevention initiatives. Marcus Felson proposes creation of a Crime Prevention Extension Service to bring situational prevention and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design into more widespread practice.
Book Synopsis Preventing Crime and Violence by : Brent Teasdale
Download or read book Preventing Crime and Violence written by Brent Teasdale and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful volume integrates criminological theories, prevention science, and empirical findings to create an up-to-date survey of crime prevention research and strategies. Its interdisciplinary perspective expands on our knowledge of risk factors to isolate the malleable mechanisms that produce criminal outcomes, and can therefore be targeted for intervention. In addition, the text identifies developmental, lifespan, and social areas for effective intervention. Reviews of family-, community-, and criminal justice-based crime prevention approaches not only detail a wide gamut of successful techniques, but also provide evidence for why they succeed. And as an extra research dimension, the book’s chapters on methodological issues and challenges uncover rich possibilities for the next generation of crime prevention studies. Included in the coverage: Integrating criminology and prevention research Social disorganization theory: its history and relevance to crime prevention Research designs in crime and violence prevention Macro- and micro-approaches to crime prevention and intervention programs Implications of life course: approaches for prevention science Promising avenues for prevention, including confronting sexual victimization on college campuses Spotlighting current progress and continuing evolution of the field, Preventing Crime and Violence will enhance the work of researchers, practitioners, academicians, and policymakers in public health, prevention science, criminology, and criminal justice, as well as students interested in criminology and criminal justice.

Book Synopsis Understanding Crime Prevention by : Tim Prenzler
Download or read book Understanding Crime Prevention written by Tim Prenzler and published by Australian Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime prevention benefits everyone, including would-be criminals saved from the negative consequences of offending. Yet much of today’s policy on preventing crime is driven by political ideology and anecdotal evidence, with insufficient planning and evaluation. Improving the practice of crime prevention is vital to ensure communities are safe and productive for all who live in them. However, crime is complex, the causes of crime are complex and, consequently, diverse methods are required to make the very large reductions in offending urgently needed around the world. 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 — including in the areas of property crime, fraud, violence and disorder — which demonstrate large-scale successes in prevention. The book 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. Featuring an impressive list of contributors, Understanding Crime Prevention covers a wide spectrum of topics and approaches, designed to address crime problems from multiple angles. These include: • standards in crime prevention • policing, deterrence and incapacitation • offender management and rehabilitation • developmental interventions • community-based prevention • situational crime prevention • crime prevention through environmental design • security management • physical security and people management, and • the security industry.
