Citizens expect their local governments to protect them from crime and to respond quickly and effectively to criminal activity. However, costs associated with law enforcement continue to mount, forcing local governments to consider crime prevention in a more serious way.Designing Out Crime explores a variety of possible solutions for preventing crime, covering ground that includes problem-solving approaches, administrative and regulatory methods, transitions and social programming, the design of environments and products, the use of technology, and new ways of dealing with prolific offenders. Written by criminologists and blending both theoretical background and practical advice, this is a powerful new crime-prevention tool for local governments.Published by Len Garis, and edited by Len Garis and Paul Maxim.Contributing authors: Gurvir Brar, Kevin Burk, Irwin Cohen, Tim Croisdale, Yvon Dandurand, Jordan Diplock, Trevor Johnson, Adrienne Peters, Darryl Plecas and Julia Shuker.
