Crime Prevention Theory and Practice

Crime Prevention: Theory and Practice by Stephen Schneider is a complete textbook on how crime can be stopped before it happens. It explains the main approaches — situational crime prevention, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), social developmental prevention, community crime prevention and policing — together with the theories behind them and how well each works in practice. It is one of the most useful books for the CSS Criminology optional paper, especially the questions on crime prevention, policing and criminal justice.
