Notes	Previously issued in print: 2018 Includes bibliographical references and index From murder to theft to drug gangs, crime and criminal justice affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. Hardly surprisingly, crime has been pushed high up the public policy agenda across the world. But how can we measure crime, or evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures? Does the threat of prison reduce someone's likelihood of reoffending, or would rehabilitation be more constructive? Tim Newburn considers how we can study trends in crime, and use them to inform preventative policy and criminal justice. Analysing the history of the subject, he reflects on our understanding of crime and responses to crime in earlier historical periods Specialized Description based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on April 27, 2018) HTTP:URL=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/actrade/9780199643257.001.0001 Information=Very short introductions
