Demands on the construction industry are changing, and it is now
virtually essential for environmental management to be considered
at all stages of a project. Many construction managers are finding
a quantitative approach useful, and this book outlines four
quantitative methods which can be applied at different construction
stages, and which fit within a comprehensive framework of dynamic
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These include: a method to
quantitatively evaluate and reduce pollution and hazards levels; a
method to evaluate the environmental-consciousness of proposed
construction plans; a method to reduce on-site construction wastes
through an incentive reward programme; and, a method to promote C
and D waste exchange in the local construction industry. With an
experimental case study of the application of these methods, this
book delivers a comprehensive review of environmental management
issues in construction. With regulatory requirements potentially
favouring the quantitative approach, this timely guide ensures that
contractors will be able to keep pace with environmental management
standards.

Presenting a clear, comprehensive review of theoretical thinking on
crime, this book encourages students to develop a deeper
understanding of classic and contemporary theories and provides an
interdisciplinary approach to criminology through the contributions
of sociology, psychology and biology. A key text for any
undergraduate student following programmes in criminology and
criminal justice, Theories of Crime covers topics such as: the
historical context of crime biological explanations for criminal
behaviour psychological explanations for criminal behaviour
sociological explanations for the criminal behaviour the criminal
behaviour of women the criminal behaviour of ethnic minorities. By
adopting an interactive approach to encourage students to react to
the text and think for themselves, this book distinguishes itself
from others in the field and ensures its place as a valuable
teaching resource. The student-centred nature of the book is
further enhanced by reflective question breaks throughout the text,
chapter summaries, suggested further reading and web sites.
