The "Handbook" clearly points out that although the literature
on crime prevention is voluminous, the social conditions that
invoke criminality are resistant to social change. The articles
repeatedly demand a critical evaluation of prevention theories and
programs, and call for accountability within the crime-prevention
profession. The collection will serve as a valuable resource for
policymakers and practitioners as well as for academics. The volume
includes an excellent directory of crime/delinquency-prevention
organizations and a supplementary bibliography. "Choice"
In recent years, the idea of prevention as a means of
controlling crime has gained unprecedented popularity. Advocates of
crime prevention frequently see its proactive nature to be superior
to the reactive stance of typical law enforcement. Yet major
questions continue to arise about what prevention is, how it can be
carried out, to whom it should be directed and where it can best be
implemented. Elmer E. Johnson has drawn together a variety of
perspectives in an effort to provide an integrated analysis of
fundamental concepts relating to the preventive approach.
