Understanding Crime Prevention


Add your own review!

Overview

Offering a comprehensive overview of current and historical debates about crime prevention, this text seeks to move beyond the traditional boundaries of criminology and offer a re-framing of the field of crime prevention based on a synthesis of late-1990s thinking in social theory. In particular it examines theorizing about late modernity, risk society, communitarianism and globalization as ways of linking trends in crime prevention to wider social transformations. Gordon Hughes concentrates on the question of the ""managerialization"" of crime prevention in the later decades of the 20th century, that is the extent to which crime control may become dominated by privatized security and insurance against risks.
