Handbook on Cities and Crime
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-80037-570-3 (ISBN)
Synthesizing a wealth of international research, chapters cover aspects of urban crime ranging from immigration, disasters and gentrification, to more specific challenges such as adolescent delinquency, gangs and hate crime. Highlighting the diversity of crime in cities, the Handbook emphasizes the need to broaden perspectives beyond those usually observed in the Global North. Expert authors evaluate future avenues for preventing and controlling crime in cities, including alternative approaches to policing, digital surveillance and smart cities.
Incisive and forward-looking, the Handbook on Cities and Crime is a vital read for academics and students in criminology, sociology, human geography and urban studies. Scholars and practitioners in fields such as housing, policing and ethnography will also benefit greatly from its insights.
Edited by Dietrich Oberwittler, Professor of Sociology, Research Group Space, Contexts, and Crime, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law, Germany and Rebecca Wickes, Professor of Criminology, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the Griffith Criminology Institute, Griffith University, Australia
