This book offers a useful theoretical overview of key approaches to
the subject of crime and community and considers the ways in which
these have been applied in more practical settings. Written by an
expert in the field and drawing on a range of international case
studies from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia, this book
explores both why and how crime and community have been linked and the
implications of their relationship within criminology and crime
prevention policy. Topics covered in the book include: the different
crime prevention paradigms which have been utilized in the ‘fight
against crime’ the turn to community in crime prevention policy,
which took place during the 1980s in the UK and US, and its subsequent
development the theoretical and ideological underpinnings to crime
prevention work in and with different communities the significance and
impact of fear of crime on crime prevention policy different
institutional responses to working with community in crime prevention
and community safety the ways in which the experiences of the UK and
US have been translated into the European context a comparison between
traditional western responses to the growing interest in restorative
and community-based approaches in other regions. The new edition has
been fully revised and updated to include discussion of the rise of
populist politics and the centrality of ‘crime’ and ‘disorder’
as a divisive element used in populist political rhetoric; the
politics of austerity and the management of crises – economic,
environmental and COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdowns; the impact of
Black Lives Matter, MeToo and Extinction Rebellion; the significance
of social media and virtual community; the further erosion of civil
liberties and the right to protest; and racialized US policing
practices and police-related deaths. This book offers essential
reading for students taking courses on crime and community, crime
prevention and community safety and community corrections.
