Understanding Crime Prevention: Social Control, Risk, and Late Modernity (Crime and Justice) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Aiming beyond the paradigm of technicist evaluation towards a sociology of risk management rather than crime prevention for the postmodern era, Hughes (social policy, the Open U., UK) maps the terrain of crime prevention and examines various schools of criminology on the deterrent presence of the modern state: classical theory, positivist, administrative (with lessons from the UK and US), communitarianism, and three models for late modernity: fortress cities like Los Angeles, high trust societies like Japan, and safer cities through greater local control. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
