The Second Edition of Dr. Fagan’s textbook, The Prevention of Crime, co-authored with Dr. Del Elliott, has just been published by Wiley.
Criminology and criminal justice emphasize the need to implement evidence-based crime prevention strategies. The Prevention of Crime is the first text to draw from multiple frameworks to provide a unique, integrated, and holistic review of what works to prevent crime. It describes many effective interventions that have been developed and tested in the USA and abroad, including situational crime prevention, law enforcement strategies, developmental prevention programs, and correctional practices. The text also describes popular prevention models that are widely used, yet which have been shown to be ineffective in reducing crime, thus helping to dispel the many myths that persist in the field. Finally, The Prevention of Crime reviews the many challenges associated with the implementation of crime prevention strategies, along with practical guidance about how communities can best select and implement such efforts, both nationally and internationally.
