'A model of smart storytelling and pure inspiration' Stephen J.
Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics Stevyn Colgan spent thirty years
in the police service, ten of them as part of the Problem Solving
Unit, a special team with an extraordinary brief: to tackle issues
of crime and disorder that were unresponsive to traditional
policing. The result is this fascinating collection of innovative
and imaginative approaches to crime prevention, showing us that any
problem can be solved if we just identify its underlying roots.
You'll come to appreciate the advantages of sticking gum on
celebrities' faces and why the colour of your football kit might
win you the match. You'll learn how lollipops counter antisocial
behaviour, how wizards prevent street gambling and how putting on a
dog show could help reduce violent crime. Above all, this book is
an amusing, insightful and often surprising celebration of creative
thinking that will inspire you to stay one step ahead of the
problem.
