Approaches, Practices and Evaluations
By- Steven Lab, Bowling Green State University
This book examines several types of crime prevention approaches and their goals, including those that are designed to prevent conditions that foster deviance, those directed toward persons or conditions with a high potential for deviance, and those for persons who have already committed crimes.
