This course is designed to engage students with contemporary issues relevant to policing and crime prevention. The relative failure of traditional reactive policing to have any impact on the problem of crime will be discussed at length and the styles of policing that emerged in response to this realization will be examined. The course considers the ideological shift towards the acceptance of more proactive styles of policing, which emphasise crime prevention over crime detection. Students are then introduced to the theory and practice of other approaches to crime prevention (e.g., environmental and developmental) and how crime prevention may evolve in the future.
