Product Description
Violence and insecurity are among the most important issues facing communities in the 21st century. Both family violence and collective violence are rapidly rising in the urbanizing nations of the South, and richer nations are also facing increased concern about the health, social, economic and environmental costs of violence and crime. The Handbook of Community Safety, Gender and Violence Prevention is the first book to gather together research and examples, from a gendered perspective, of local, regional and international interventions that work to prevent crime, violence and insecurity. Case studies of successful initiatives from every continent, in settings that vary from large cities to rural areas, are analyzed to provide cross-cultural lessons of what works and what doesn?t. The book presents essential practical advice to professionals such as: how to obtain diagnostic information on incidence and impacts of violence; how to develop, maintain and evaluate policies and programs that can effectively promote community safety; and how to create trust and effectiveness in partnerships.
