Over the last fifteen years a higher demand for security has been
recorded in the political market of democracies. Policy-makers have
increasingly used contracts to safeguard the peace and safety of
the citizenry. "Governing by contract" has been considered one of
the most significant processes of political-administrative change.
But how do urban security policies managed "by contract" work in
practice? Should contracts be considered an effective solution for
governing crime and disorder at the local level?This book answers
these questions, focusing on urban security policy in Italy in the
years 1994-2012. The first part of the volume is devoted to a
comparative analysis of the urban security policies in the UK,
France, and Italy. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of
the Italian case, and in particular to an ex-ante impact evaluation
of security pacts - written contracts issued by local governments.
The third and final part is then committed to an ex-post impact
evaluation of the pacts aimed to test their efficacy in governing
crime at the local level.The book gives a unique coverage - in a
crossroad between political science and criminology - of how
contracts are used for governing crime and disorder, with the aid
of cutting-edge quantitative techniques in the social sciences such
as quantitative narrative analysis and fixed effects regression
model. The volume will be of interest to political scientists and
criminologists specialized in urban security, as well as
policy-makers interested in practical implications of governing
crime and disorder by contract.
