It combines theoretical insights with empirical richness, providing valuable insights into policy and practice. This book is particularly valuable for practitioners who are dealing with complex spatial concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefensible Space critically examines the geographical concept of defensible space, which has been influential in designing out crime to date. It has been applied to housing estates in various countries, including the UK, North America, Europe, and beyond. The book evaluates the movement, mobility, and mobilization of defensible space from the United States to the United Kingdom and into English housing policy and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the multiple ways in which the concept of defensible space was interpreted and implemented, the book demonstrates how it circulated from national to local levels and within particular English housing estates. It also critiques and pushes forward work on policy mobilities, illustrating how transfer mechanisms worked at both a policy and practitioner level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive archival research, oral histories, and in-depth interviews, this important book reveals defensible space to be ambiguous, uncertain in nature, and neither proven nor disproven scientifically. It sheds light on the complexities and challenges associated with implementing defensible space policies and practices, and provides valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars interested in the study of spatial governance and security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 490g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 261 x 252 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781119500438\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loretta Lees,Elanor Warwick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44106061938938,"sku":"9781119500438","price":22.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647340810828_book.jpg?v=1647359079","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/defensible-space-on-the-move-mobilisation-in-english-housing-policy-and-practice-9781119500438","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
