The Prevention of Crime is a comprehensive and holistic examination of effective crime prevention programs, practices, and policies, their theoretical foundations, scientific evidence of their effectiveness, and practical challenges involved in their implementation at the community, state, and national levels. It provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of crime prevention strategies, including programs and practices guided by life-course developmental theories of crime, situational crime prevention, law enforcement practices and policies, and correctional interventions.
Containing the most up-to-date and accurate information about "what works" in crime prevention, this unique textbook introduces students to the public health and prevention science approaches to addressing the causes of crime, with a focus on prevention-oriented, community-based interventions. Throughout the text, the authors emphasize the importance of using high-quality scientific methodologies to identify effective and ineffective interventions that are based on theory, provide expert insights on practical issues relating to crime prevention in communities, and discuss how practitioners can effectively implement a range of crime prevention strategies.
Incorporating recent advances and emerging research in the field, the second edition of The Prevention of Crime contains new and updated coverage of developments in criminological theory and evaluation methods, efforts to avoid and correct discriminatory crime prevention practices, understanding how and why communities make adaptations to evidence-based interventions (EBI), strategies to investigate and communicate the impact of EBIs on different populations (including members of racial/ethnic minority groups), and more. This edition also includes expanded discussions of the role of technology in crime prevention, the importance of community engagement and collaboration in crime prevention efforts, and the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing evidence-based practices in diverse and complex communities.
Overall, The Prevention of Crime is an essential resource for students, practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in developing and implementing effective crime prevention strategies. It offers a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to addressing the root causes of crime and promoting safer and more peaceful communities.
