This book is a tribute to the work of criminologist Professor
Ronald V. Clarke, in view of his enormous and enduring contribution
to criminology and crime science. Clarke is best known for his
development of the theory and application of situational crime
prevention, although he also played a major part in the
establishment of the British Crime Survey, in discussions of
evaluation methodology, and in improving the knowledge base and
tools for problem-oriented policing. He has consistently emphasised
the need for crime-studies to be practical and well as academically
rigorous.
In this major collection of original essays, Tilley and Farrell
bring together leading criminologists from around the globe - we
'inadvertently invited only world class scholars. Oops.' the
editors profess - all of whom are colleagues or ex-students of
Clarke.
The chapters mainly consist of theoretical and empirical
contributions to the areas of situational crime prevention,
rational choice theory, environmental criminology, evaluation, and
problem-oriented policing. The largely biographical introduction
'Ronald V. Clarke - The Quiet Revolutionary' is based on interviews
with Clarke.
