Description: "This volume addresses the ethics of situational crime prevention Are situational crime prevention strategies likely to constrain unduly people's freedom of movement? Do such strategies involve an intrusive scrutiny of people's everyday activities? Can ethical principles be developed that would help distinguish acceptable from unacceptable forms of intervention?" "It also examines the place of situational crime prevention within criminology To what extent does its emergence represent a basic shift in thinking about the nature of crime, and about prospects and strategies for dealing with it? To what extent is crime being treated as a 'normal' risk to be managed? How far does situational crime prevention place responsibility for crime prevention beyond the state apparatus to the organisations and institutions of civil society? What are the social and political implications of doing so?"--Jacket.
Notes: The thinking reflected in this book was stimulated by two colloquia held in Cambridge, in January 1997 and October 1999.
