Alternatives a the Social Crime Prevention Theory,
By Melissa Anderson (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders: Risk Factors and Successful Interventions (Hardcover)
The text outlines a concept of risk and protective factors along the path of life, which are shown to either contribute or protect individuals and communities from Juvenile Offending.The book is a must for those wanting to consider proven and efficient alterntives to the 'get tough approach', but don't fear it isn't the soft social worker approach either. It's based on the theory of Developemental Crime Prevention and looks at a combination of sanctions, interventions and community actions which can reduce juvenile and later adult offending. A must for those with an interst in Crime Prevention !
