'Excellent...the scope is very impressive and the fact that a book about planning contains many references to criminology is particularly welcome to me. I've recommended it to as many people as possible.' - Steve Town, Architectural Liaison Officer, West Yorkshire Police 'This book provides the reader with an enlightening and informative comparative study of planning and crime prevention in the US and UK.' - Local Government Studies 'Excellent...the scope is very impressive and the fact that a book about planning contains many references to criminology is particularly welcome to me. I've recommended it to as many people as possible.' - Steve Town, Architectural Liaison Officer, West Yorkshire Police 'This important work, published by Routledge, aims to push the boundaries of much staid thinking.' - Urban Design Quarterly, Autumn 2002 'This book, like criminology itself, is eclectic in the sense it urges a broad proposition not a series of "recipies" in a "cookbook". Rather it offers an approach that addresses people's real concerns by offering dialogue, professional input and a strong desire to push the evidential base to ensure the approach and methodology they are espousing become a beneficial orthodoxy. In this way this book should also find itself as standard reading for students and academics of criminology as well as on the planning curricula.' - Urban Design Quarterly, Autumn 2002 'This book provides the reader with an enlightening and informative comparative study of planning and crime prevention in the US and UK.' - Local Government Studies 'A significant and timely contribution to those interested in place-based crime prevention and, more broadly, in holistic community planning and design.' - Al Zelinka, Journal of Architectural and Planning Research 'This book should be on the bookshelves of practicing planners, urban designers, and crime prevention professionals.' - Al Zelinka, Journal of Architectural and Planning Research
