Crime Prevention and Crime Control (An Indian Perspective)

....................................................................................................................................
Description
 Crimes are perceived as a serious and constant threat to people’s safety and the society. Over the years, a number of innovative approaches - some more technical than others - to learn about crime patterns for guiding and supporting crime prevention initiatives have been developed. Some of them have been relatively popular; other approaches, however, have not benefited from the same interest. These approaches have one positive aspect in common - their potential for crime prevention is immense. In addition, they are complementary and versatile enough to be applied in different contexts for different crimes. There are various approaches of crime prevention, for illustration through public policy or community policing or through restorative justice, which are discussed in Crime Prevention and Crime Control. A holistic approach towards crime prevention, as discussed in the book, will help in revamping the criminal justice system in India.
