It draws together information about where, for whom, and critically, at what cost the interventions are effective in reducing and deterring crime." "Reducing Crime is essential reading for academics, students and researchers in forensic psychology, criminology, social policy and economics. It will also be a valuable resource for policy makers, criminal justice decision makers and probation and police officers."--Jacket.
