"In Environmental Criminology, Martin Andresen provides perhaps the most readable summary of what is known in the field. But he also thoughtfully considers where the field has been and where it is going, providing one of the most sophisticated descriptions of Environmental Criminology to date. This means that this book will be equally useful to students and scholars, and should be read by anyone interested in this area of study."
David Weisburd, Walter E Meyer Professor of Law and Criminal Justice, Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; Distinguished Professor, Department of Criminology, Law and Society, George Mason University, USA
"I've used
this book as required reading in my courses emphasizing crime and place. It covers the theories that underpin the field of Environmental Criminology and their link to crime prevention practice before discussing a variety of the core methods in use. The text is engagingly and clearly written. The illustrations are well-done and helpful. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and professionals at a variety of levels. It is packed with important information. My own copy is dog-eared from frequent use."
Elizabeth Groff, Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Temple University"I am delighted to see Andresen has updated Environmental Criminology with a third edition. This is an essential text for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of environmental criminology and its significance for research, practice, and policy".
Julie Hibdon,
Associate Professor, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale"Environmental Criminology is a great resource for students, practitioners, and academics alike. With new material on multilevel models of environmental criminology, harm indices, crime mapping, and hot-spot policing, Martin Andresen has produced an update to an already valuable reference in the field with a writing style that is precise but written in a digestible format for all students in environmental criminology."
