Reviews
Straightforward and easy to understand, the second edition of Stephen SchneideraEURO (TM)s Crime Prevention: Theory and Practice delivers what its title promises. It examines various approaches to crime prevention, analyzing strengths and weaknesses, history, and progress. What separates this book from others on the topic is that case studies and academic research results illustrate theories in action and demonstrate real-life outcomes. The author chose wisely when gathering the case studies, with examples from all corners of Western civilization. As cultures continue to mingle and merge, such information will become increasingly relevant. - Dante I. Moriconi, CPP, PCI, PSP, CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner)
