Showcasing cutting-edge scholarship in criminology theory and practice, this collection of twelve essays examines the idea of designing products and systems for crime prevention and explores the shifting paradigms in criminology that open up new avenues for thinking about crime prevention from a social perspective. Topics discussed include embedding crime prevention within design, a market approach to crime prevention, designing against bicycle theft, a counter-terrorism trash bin, supermarket carts to reduce handbag theft, and slowing theft of fast moving goods. Chapters include illustrations and research data tables. Contributors are criminologists, law enforcement professionals, and other related experts from primarily UK and Australian institutions.
