9783319277912 English 331927791X This book brings together a seriesof contributions made by international experts dedicated to reducing and preventingcrime. Although most statistical analyses point to an overall reduction incrime in the past decade, there are a number of specific or emerging crimes onthe rise (in particular: cybercrime, identity theft, terrorism, sexual assault,environmental crime, and maritime piracy) that call for new and innovativetechniques. This exciting volume isdivided into four sections: analysis of past offenders, new analytical tools,legislation, and security techniques. Each section includes one theoreticalchapter to introduce and explain the research strategy, and a series ofempirical contributions that support the theoretical basis with researchevidence. The first section examinespast offenders' perspectives on crime prevention, to see what insight pastoffenders can offer on future crime prevention. The second section is onpromising crime analysis tools designed to investigate crime patterns and guideprevention initiatives. These include (a) crime script analysis (b) crimemapping and spatial analysis (c) social network analysis and (d) agent-basedmodelling. The focus of the third section is on the innovative use of crime-proofinglegislation to facilitate and support crime prevention efforts. The lastsection is dedicated to technologies of security and situational crimeprevention.This work will be of interestto researchers in criminology and criminal justice, with a particular focus onemerging techniques, crime science, situational crime prevention, and technology,and crime legislation as well as related fields such as public policy., This volume brings together a series of original contributions made by international experts dedicated to guiding efforts in preventing crime. The collection is divided into seven sections that cover cutting edge approaches to crime prevention: 1) the offenders perspective on crime prevention2) crime script analysis 3) crime mapping and spatial analysis4) social network analysis5) agent-based modelling6) crime-proofing legislations 7) technologies of crime preventionEach section includes one theoretical chapter to introduce the research approach followed by a series of empirical/applied contributions. The theoretical chapter aims to introduce and explain the approach of interest and discusses under which circumstances this strategy could best assist crime prevention. The objective of empirical/applied contributions is simply to showcase how these approaches can be apply.This collection can be seen as the end result of the convergence of novel ideas and analytical skills in the area of crime and crime prevention worldwide. It will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as related fields like Sociology and Psychology, Security, Urban Planning, and Public Policy."
