available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No

of urban life better than a public place. A public place, whatever
its nature-a park, a mall, a train platform or a street corner-is
where people pass by, meet each other and at times become a victim
of crime. With this book, we submit that crime and safety in public
places are not issues that can be easily dealt with within the
boundaries of a single discipline. The book aims to illustrate the
complexity of patterns of crime and fear in public places with
examples of studies on these topics contextualized in different
cities and countries around the world. This is achieved by tackling
five cross-cutting themes: the nature of the city's environment as
a backdrop for crime and fear; the dynamics of individuals' daily
routines and their transit safety; the safety perceptions
experienced by those who are most in fear in public places; the
metrics of crime and fear; and, finally, examples of current
practices in promoting safety. All these original chapters
contribute to our quest for safer, more inclusive, resilient,
equitable and sustainable cities and human settlements aligned to
the Global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
It is widely acknowledged that the size of the security industry
has increased in virtually every country around the world, often
eclipsing conventional police forces in personnel numbers and
expenditures. Security providers differ from law enforcement
officers in many ways, yet the nature of their crime reduction
activities brings them into frequent contact with citizens, drawing
to the forefront issues of training, professionalism and
accountability. Unlike police officers, whose training and
licensing standards are well established, regulations for security
providers are often minimalist or entirely absent. This volume
brings together research on regulatory regimes and strategies from
around the globe, covering both the large private security sector
and the expanding area of public sector 'non-police' protective
security. It examines the nature and extent of licensing and
monitoring, and the minimum standards imposed on the industry by
governments across the world. The chapters in this book were
originally published in the International Journal of Comparative
and Applied Criminal Justice.
Though criminology took root in Russia in the early 1800s and has
gone through various stages of maturation-paralleling developments
of the discipline in Europe and North America over the last two
centuries-its contributions and presence in the field is hardly
noticeable in the English-speaking world. The objective of this
book is by no means to fill that void, but rather to bring together
the recent developments in Russia, keeping in context its rich
history of criminological legacies, traditions, and its current
experiences and growth since the restructuring of Soviet Union.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
