UNDERSTANDING CRIME PREVENTION by Gordon Hughes
This book offers a comprehensive overview of current and historical debates about crime prevention in particular and social control more generally. It moves beyond the traditional boundaries of criminology and offers an original re-framing of the field of crime prevention based on a synthesis of exciting new thinking in social theory.
"..this is as good and as readily understandable on the subject of crime statistics as you are ever likely to find." -New Law Journal
