Description

Many rigorous evaluations have shown that prevention projects in the U.S. have reduced crime across the nation. However, more is needed to decrease crime rates to the levels of the 1950s and 1960s. Some European countries have started to invest in crime prevention, and the U.S. may be able to learn from these experiences. This study looks at trends in the United Kingdom (U.K.), the Netherlands, France, and New Zealand. These programs demonstrate that focused policing and mobilization of a broad range of agencies can significantly reduce crime rates. This study is concerned with the economic returns that Americans may receive from investing in crime prevention. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
