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 preventionCity planningCrime prevention and architectural designUnited StatesGreat BritainCrime prevention.City planning.Crime prevention and architectural design.364.490941Schneider Richard H.1357515Kitchen TedNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476810503321Planning for Crime Prevention3363656UNINA
