Advanced reading

 

The following readings are recommended for students interested in exploring the topics of this Module in more detail, and for lecturers teaching the Module:

• Tilley, Nick and Sidebottom, Aiden (2017). Handbook of Crime Prevention and Community Safety. London: Routledge.
• Welsh, Brandon and Farrington, David (2012). Oxford Handbook of Crime Prevention. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
• Winterdyk, John (2017). Crime Prevention: International Perspectives, Issues and Trends. Boca Raton: CRC Press.

These books are recommended as advanced readings given the breadth of the material covered, although individual chapters provide succinct summaries of particular approaches to crime prevention and common implementation issues.
