| Publisher Description: This book presents a critical analysis of theory, policy and practice in crime prevention and community safety. It focuses upon, and stands in contrast to, the development of crime prevention policy and practice in England and Wales, particularly since 1997, the advent of the 'New Labour' Governments of Prime Minister Tony Blair. The book draws together and synthesizes a range of studies carried out by the author and conducted contemporaneously with policy and practice developments since 1997. At the same time, it presents an independent and critical analysis of the ideas and propositions informing policy, drawn from the author's development of an explanatory theory that would account for empirical findings and governmental approaches. |
