Traditional "schools" of crime prevention, like the criminal
justice model, social crime prevention or situational crime
prevention, have proved to be too narrow and do not combine well
with other approaches. However, each of these models provides
important insights and contributions for reducing crime. By
extracting the main preventive mechanisms of these diverse
approaches, this book develops a more holistic, general model that
consists of nine preventive mechanisms: building normative barriers
to crime, reducing recruitment, deterrence, disruption,
incapacitation, protecting vulnerable targets, reducing benefits of
crime, reducing harm, and facilitating desistance. The measures to
activate the preventive mechanisms may differ according to the type
of crime, as may the actors in charge of implementing the relevant
measures. However, Tore Bjorgo demonstrates how his model of crime
prevention can be effectively applied to diverse forms of crime,
from domestic burglaries to criminal youth gangs and driving under
the influence to organized crime and terrorism. In doing so, this
important book will be of interest to scholars and students of
policing, security studies and criminology, as well as
practitioners and policy-makers.
