Preventing Crime

What Works for Children, Offenders, Victims and Places

Brandon C. Welsh | David P. Farrington

Social Science / Criminology

Crime prevention should be rational and should be based on the best possible evidence. This book is about evidence-based crime prevention. It is the first book to assess the effectiveness of criminological interventions using the most rigorous methodology of the systematic review. It is an indispensable guide to the leading scientific evidence on what works best to prevent crime. The book brings together the leading scientific evidence. It covers important and topical interventions, including child skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, restorative justice, repeat victimization, hot spots policing, and CCTV.
