The relationship between crime and community has a long history in
criminological thought, from the early notion of the criminogenic
community developed by the Chicago sociologists through to various
crime prevention models in research and policy. This book offers a
useful theoretical overview of key approaches to the subject of
crime and community and considers the ways in which these have been
applied in more practical settings. Written by an expert in the
field and drawing on a range of international case studies from
Europe, North America, Australia and Asia, this book explores both
why and how crime and community have been linked and the
implications of their relationship within criminology and crime
prevention policy. Topics covered in the book include: the
different crime prevention paradigms which have been utilised in
the "fight against crime", the turn to community in crime
prevention policy, which took place during the 1980s in the UK and
US and its subsequent development, the particular theoretical and
ideological underpinnings to crime prevention work in and with
different communities, the significance and impact of fear of crime
on crime prevention policy, different institutional responses to
working with community in crime prevention and community safety,
the ways in which the experience of the UK and US have been
translated into the European context, a comparison between
traditional western responses to the growing interest in
restorative and community-based approaches in other regions. This
book offers essential reading for students taking courses on crime
and community, crime prevention and community safety and community
corrections.
