Description
Environmental Criminology: Evolution, Theory, and Practice by Martin A. Andresen is a comprehensive textbook that explores the field of environmental criminology. This fully revised edition covers key topics such as social disorganization theory, routine activity approach, geometry of crime, rational choice perspective, and multilevel models that integrate environmental criminology. The book delves into practical applications of environmental criminology, examines how theories are operationalized and tested, and discusses policy implications for crime prevention. New to the third edition is an expanded coverage on multilevel models of environmental criminology, harm indices, crime mapping, hot-spot policing, and future directions in environmental criminology. Suitable for courses on crime prevention, geography of crime, crime analysis, and environmental criminology, this textbook offers a theoretical framework for understanding complex neighborhood problems.
