This book guides policing students through the areas of Criminology and crime prevention required for their course and help them apply this knowledge into their work.
It uses crime prevention theory alongside current practice and evidence-based policing research that students can apply in their practice. It explores what criminology is, its helpfulness in policing, and examines key topics such as offenders and offending, victims and victimology, and principles and theories of crime prevention. A range of models of policing which can be applied to various crime prevention scenarios are discussed, with details on specific initiatives already in place. The content is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the PEQF (Police Education Qualifications Framework) and module six in the policing curriculum on criminology and crime prevention.
Case studies and evidence-based examples are used to provide clear links between theory and practice, while critical thinking and review activities embed understanding and promote critical thinking. As part of the series, care has been taken into this book to make sure that it reflects challenges faced by new students, linking theory to real-life operational practice.
Part of the Professional Policing Curriculum in Practice series.
