"Social crime prevention" focuses on the social and economic factors that may contribute to violence and criminal behavior in a community. Particularly in the developing world, an understanding of the socioeconomic and political context holds long-term potential for crime reduction (rather than crime displacement); however, the strategies are complex and the results may be slow. Generally, police and law enforcement are relied upon to present quick results, where social crime prevention strategies can be viewed as being "soft on crime" or too slow. This Brief discusses the tension between the traditional role of police and proactive social crime prevention strategies in an international context, through a variety of case studies. It also provides recommendations for balancing or reshaping this role. This work will be of interest to researchers and policy makers interested in crime prevention, particularly in the developing world, criminal theory, police studies and related disciplines such as demography, sociology and political science. .SpringerBriefs in Policing,2194-6213 ;6CriminologySocial structureEqualityPolitical scienceCriminology and Criminal Justice, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B0000Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Criminology.Social structure.Equality.Political science.Criminology and Criminal Justice, general.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Political Science.300305320364Grant Heathauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1225137MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483796703321Social Crime Prevention in the Developing World2844629UNINA
