First published in 2002. Spiralling crime rates and continuing
public concern about police-community relations ensure that crime
and policing remain firmly on the social and political agenda. An
awareness of crime continues to affect the lives of ordinary people
and also to stimulate policy makers who recognise that crime rates
form one of the principles by which their effectiveness is judged.
Of the many agencies involved in the battle against crime, the
police in their various roles constitute the most obvious front
line. Drawing on case material from Britain, Europe, Canada and
America, Crime, Policing and Place examines the significance of
spatial patterns of crime and the processes which produce them. The
book analyses the implications of theoretical and methodological
innovation in the study of crime and policing, the processes which
underlie the uneven distribution and impact of crime and the
success of recent policies aimed at preventing crime and enhancing
police-community relations. Contributors are drawn from a variety
of academic disciplines, including criminology, geography and
social policy and also from the police and government agencies with
direct policy input.
