'The most significant writers explain the most significant ideas in environmental criminology and crime analysis. This book will become a key source for anyone seriously interested in crime prevention as an analyst, researcher, policy-maker or practitioner.'
- Professor Nick Tilley (Nottingham Trent University)
No Text Environmental criminology is a generic label that covers a range of overlapping perspectives. At the core, the various strands of environmental criminology are bound by a common focus on the role that the immediate environment plays in the performance of crime, and a conviction that careful analyses of these environmental influences are the key to the effective investigation, control and
prevention of crime.

This text brings together for the first time the key contributions to environmental criminology to comprehensively define the field and synthesise the concepts and ideas surrounding environmental criminology. The chapters are written by leading theorists and practitioners in the field; each chapter will analyse one of the twelve major elements of environmental criminology and crime analysis. This book will be essential reading for both practitioners and undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in this subject.
