Rebuilding Crime Prevention through Environmental Design: Strengthening the links with situational crime prevention and environmental criminology (Crime Science Series)

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design is a collection of approaches to deter criminal behaviour though physically altering the built environment in which communities reside. In recent years, the approach has been criticised for duplicating terminology and for failing to integrate successfully with other approaches.

This book brings together leading scholars from around the world to consider the theory, terminology, concepts and methods of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, draws on international research and develops new interdisciplinary perspectives. It explores how situational crime prevention and environmental criminological theories relate to those of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design and considers how Crime Science can be reformulated to merge different approaches, or at least articulate them better.
