Community-based crime control has become one of the principal
policy responses to crime and disorder across western societies,
and is regarded now as one of the keys to successful crime
prevention and reduction. The aim of this book is to bring together
findings from case studies of community-based crime control in
England as a means of examining the prospects for this approach,
its evolving relationship with criminal justice and social
policies, and to assess the lessons internationally that can be
drawn from this in the theory, research methods, politics and
practice of crime control.
At the same time the book advances an important new conceptual
framework for understanding community-based crime control, focusing
on an understanding of the diversity of control and preventative
strategies, the locally particular conditions in which they are
conducted, and the degree of choices open to local political actors
involved in their conduct. Understanding diversity in this way is
central to drawing lessons about the transferability of crime
control theory and practice from one social context to another,
avoiding the na ve emulation of practices in different
contexts.
