Rezensionen

"Nick Tilley has done more than anyone to put crime prevention on the map in terms of public policy and as a focus for academic research. As this new book, Better Crime Prevention, makes clear, he also has an unrivalled grasp of what crime prevention is and how as a society we can become better at doing it in practice. The book builds on a previous 2007 work but updates it considerably. It is in some ways a textbook, including exercises for students, but that somewhat underplays what is also a comprehensive manifesto for the future of crime prevention policy and practice."
