Urban Crime Prevention, Surveillance, and Restorative Justice : Effects of Social Technologies

Crime Prevention, Surveillance, And Restorative Justice Have Transformed The Response To Crime In Recent Years. Each Has Had A Significant Impact On Policy, Introducing New Concepts And Reassessing Traditional Aims And Priorities. While Such Efforts Attract A Great Deal Of Criminological Interest, They Tend To Be Discussed Within Separate And Discrete Literatures, Rather Than As Part Of A Cohesive And Concerted Effort. Urban Crime Prevention, Surveillance, And Restorative Justice: Effects Of Social Technologies Examines These Emerging Trends Which Are Increasingly Being Contemplated By Police, Courts, And Corrections Agencies, And Explores How These Three Concepts Are Changing National And International Policies Concerning Crime.--book Jacket.
