'This important work, published by Routledge, aims to push the boundaries of much staid thinking.' - Urban Design Quarterly, Autumn 2002
'This book, like criminology itself, is eclectic in the sense it urges a broad proposition not a series of "recipies" in a "cookbook". Rather it offers an approach that addresses people's real concerns by offering dialogue, professional input and a strong desire to push the evidential base to ensure the approach and methodology they are espousing become a beneficial orthodoxy. In this way this book should also find itself as standard reading for students and academics of criminology as well as on the planning curricula.' - Urban Design Quarterly, Autumn 2002
