Community Education and Crime Prevention

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Crime in the United States and especially in one inner-city neighborhood is examined in this book, the result of a year-long project implementing various quantitative and qualitative research methods. The study shows how that one neighborhood is fighting crime through a community education (comprehensive) approach. The narrative describes in detail methods used to address foreground (opportunity) as well as background causes of criminal behavior that involve policing, community problem-solving, and improving quality of life.
