Crime science is precisely what it says it is: the application of
science to the phenomenon of crime. This handbook, intended as a
crime science manifesto, showcases the scope of the crime science
field and provides the reader with an understanding of the
assumptions, aspirations and methods of crime science, as well as
the variety of topics that fall within its purview. Crime science
provides a distinctive approach to understanding and dealing with
crime: one that is outcome-oriented, evidence-based and that
crosses boundaries between disciplines. The central mission of
crime science is to find new ways to cut crime and increase
security. Beginning by setting out the case for crime science, the
editors examine the roots of crime science in environmental
criminology and describe its key features. The book is then divided
into two sections. The first section comprises chapters by
disciplinary specialists about the contributions their sciences can
make or have already made to crime science. Chapter 12 of this book
is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0
license.

This second edition of the Handbook of Crime Prevention and
Community Safety provides a completely revised and updated
collection of essays focusing on the theory and practice of crime
prevention and the creation of safer communities. This book is
divided into five comprehensive parts: Part I, brand new to this
edition, is concerned with theoretical perspectives on crime
prevention and community safety. Part II considers general
approaches to preventing crime, including a new chapter on the
theory and practice of deterrence. Part III focuses on specific
crime prevention strategies, including a new chapter on regulation
for crime prevention. Part IV focuses on the prevention of specific
categories of crime and the fear they generate, including new
chapters on organised crime and cybercrime. Part V considers the
preventative process: the methods through which presenting problems
can be analysed, responses formulated and implemented, and their
effectiveness evaluated. Bringing together leading academics and
practitioners from the UK, US, Australia and the Netherlands, this
volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers and
practitioners whose work relates to crime prevention and community
safety, as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in
crime prevention.
