Crime prevention should be rational and should be based on the best
possible evidence. Decision-makers should weigh heavily any available
evidence on what works best. How can a program that has produced no
discernable evidence of effectiveness, as shown through numerous
evaluations, be considered for implementation? Unfortunately, this
happens all the time. Evidence-based crime prevention attempts to
overcome this and other obstacles by ensuring that the best available
evidence is considered in any decision to implement a program designed
to prevent crime. This book is about evidence-based crime prevention.
A project of the Campbell Collaboration Crime and Justice Group,
Preventing Crime brings together the leading scientific evidence on
what works best for a wide range of interventions organized around
four important domains in criminology: at-risk children, offenders,
victims, and places. It is the first book to assess the effectiveness
of criminological interventions using the most rigorous review
methodology of the systematic review. It is an indispensable guide to
the leading scientific evidence on what works best to prevent crime.
