Crime and Community: Continuities, Contradictions, and ComplexitiesAbstractThis article explores the research on community crime prevention, fear of crime, and alternative crime control strategies that go beyond those of traditional criminal justice agencies.

Alternative policy options are discussed and recommendations related to the most promising approaches are made.Crime and Community: Continuities, Contradictions, and Complexities (*.pdf, 120 KB)
