Planning for Crime Prevention: A Transatlantic Perspective (RTPI Library Series)

Crime and the fear of crime are issues high in public concern and on political agendas in most developed countries. This book takes these issues and relates them to the contribution that urban planners and participative planning processes can make in response to these problems. Its focus is thus on the extent to which crime opportunities can be prevented or reduced through the design, planning and management of the built environment. The perspective of the book is transatlantic and comparative, not only because ideas and inspiration in this and many other fields increasingly move between countries but also because there is a great deal of relevant theoretical material and practice in both the USA and the UK which has not previously been pulled together in this systemic manner.

Crime Prevention and the Built Environment

With a comprehensive analysis, this book links theory, evidence and practical application to bridge gaps between planning, design and criminology. The authors investigate connections between crime prevention and development planning with an international approach, looking at initiatives in the field and incorporating an understanding of current responses to the growth of technology and terrorism.

Everyone in town wondered about the rare and beautiful violets growing in the park that spring. They couldn't remember seeing any of that particular color and size ever before. Moreover, they were growing in a spot that had remained bare of grass and flowers as long as anyone could remember. How these flowers came to be it a story of love and kindness on the part of the blue angel ornament and its loyalty to the Christmas tree. A touching tale for children and adults, it reflects the love of the One who came to earth as the first and best Christmas gift.
