Problem-Oriented Policing and Crime Prevention / Edition 2

by Anthony A. Braga

Overview

Instead of merely reacting to crimes once they've been committed, can police agencies learn how to prevent offenses from occurring? Anthony Braga's comprehensive analysis demonstrates clearly how the emerging problem-oriented policing approach is proving effective in preventing a wide range of criminal activities.

Problem-Oriented Policing and Crime Prevention is the only book recommended by the nonprofit Center for Problem-Oriented Policing for use in all modules of its Model POP Curriculum, including courses at colleges and universities and training programs for police personnel.
