In this text, the authors argue that if disorderly behaviour in public places is stamped out, then serious crime won't be able to flourish. They advocate a preventive strategy of community-based policing to maintain public order.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Based on a groundbreaking theory of crime prevention, this practical and empowering book shows how citizens, business owners, and police can work together to ensure the safety of their communities. George Kelling, one of America’s leading criminologists, has proven the success of his method across the country, from the New York City subways to the public parks of Seattle. Here, Kelling and urban anthropologist and lawyer Catherine Coles demonstrate that by controlling disorderly behavior in public spaces, we can create an environment where serious crime cannot flourish, and they explain how to adapt these effective methods for use in our own homes and communities.
