Situational crime prevention has drawn increasing interest in
recent years, yet the debate has looked mainly at whether it
'works' to prevent crime. Little attention has been paid to how it
alters conceptions and strategies of crime prevention in modern
society, and to the ethical questions concerning its potential
impact on freedom and privacy. This volume aims to address the
ethics of situational crime prevention. Are situational crime
prevention strategies likely to constrain unduly people's freedom
of movement? Do such strategies involve an intrusive scrutiny of
people's everyday activities? Can ethical principles be developed
that would help distinguish acceptable from unacceptable forms of
intervention? The second issue concerns 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 organisations and institutions of civil society? What are the
social and political implications of doing so?
