By A Customer

This review is from: Applied Crime Analysis (Paperback)

Applied Crime Analysis is the best "How-to" book on crime analysis to date. It's user friendliness is a benefit to the often difficult topic of crime prevention and security. The authors have created a step-by-step manual for those engaging in crime analysis for the first time and those who want to learn how to correctly produce defensible crime analysis. Applied Crime Analysis brilliantly takes the reader thru the crime prevention journey of a property manager who succeeds in reducing crime at his office building. Other topics include: obtaining law enforcement data, liability, Uniform Crime Report conversion, and crime prevention for specific properties.

GREAT BOOK!!!
