'Politicians, police and the press are always looking for a way to cut crime and keep it down. Here it is. No police chief, architect or planner should be without it. In fact they should be held accountable if they haven't read it. Whoever or whatever you are, if you have any interest in crime, design or public policy this book will give you a new way of looking at things.' ae' Nick Ross, BBC Crimewatch UK, Chairman, Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science Advisory Board 'This book shows the extent to which crime in residential environments can be controlled through design and planning. It is much needed. That design and planning can contribute to the control of crime is not new, and there have been other books, theories and official guidance on this topic. The value of this one lies in the strength, scale and detail of the research evidence presented, and the consequent prime role it gives to design in creating self policing and crime free environments of the future.' ae' Barry Webb, Visiting Professor at the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, University College London, UK
