This volume brings together a series of original contributions made by international experts dedicated to guiding efforts in preventing crime. The collection is divided into seven sections that cover cutting edge approaches to crime prevention:
1) the offenders’ perspective on crime prevention
2) crime script analysis
3) crime mapping and spatial analysis
4) social network analysis
5) agent-based modelling
6) crime-proofing legislations
7) technologies of crime prevention
This collection can be seen as the end result of the convergence of novel ideas and analytical skills in the area of crime and crime prevention worldwide. It will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as related fields like Sociology and Psychology, Security, Urban Planning, and Public Policy.
“This is a substantial publication at almost 400 pages, and has been nicely produced by the publisher. … The book also provided some exciting illustrations of how the various techniques might further the cause of crime prevention. The task now is to implement and evaluate more of these potentially fruitful approaches and to contribute to what we know might work, where and how.” (Gloria Laycock, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, July, 2017)
