This book addresses the ethics of situational crime prevention. Are
situational crime prevention strategies likely to constrain unduly
peoples freedom of movement? Do such strategies involve an
intrusive scrutiny of peoples everyday activities? Can ethical
principles be developed that would help distinguish acceptable from
unacceptable forms of intervention? It also examines the place of
situational crime prevention within criminology. To what extent
does its emergence represent a basic shift in thinking about the
nature of crime, and about prospects and strategies for dealing
with it? To what extent is crime being treated as a normal risk to
be managed? How far does situational crime prevention place
responsibility for crime prevention beyond the state apparatus to
the organizations and institutions of civil society? What are the
social and political implications of doing so? These questions are
addressed by twelve distinguished criminologists in the papers
which make up the book.
