Professor Herman Goldstein said of the first edition "...a superb collection of case studies that goes to the heart of what policing is all about." This popular and groundbreaking book has been substantially revised and expanded. The extensively revised introduction features: an extended classification of 16 techniques of situational crime prevention; an expanded discussion of displacement and diffusion of benefits; a discussion of the appropriateness of the evaluative designs employed in the case studies; a discussion of why situational crime prevention projects may fail; and fuller consideration of ethical problems.

In addition to 12 case studies from the first edition, new case studies include: 1. Eliminating pay phone toll fraud at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan (Gissela Bichler and Ronald Clarke) 2. Preventing auto theft in suburban Vancouver commuter lots. Effectives of a bike patrole (Paul Barclay, Jennifer Buckley, Paul Brantingham, Patricia Brantingham and Terry Whinn-Yates) 3. Safe Transport: Security by Design on the Washington Metro (Nancy La Vigne) 4. Problem-oriented policing and drug market locations (Tim Hope) 5. Steering column locks and motor vehicle theft.

Preventing pub and club-related violence: The Surfers Paradise Community Action Project (Ross Homel and Richard Wortley) 8. Refund fraud in retail stores (Dennis Challinger) 9. Displacement vs. diffusion of benefits and the reduction of inventory losses in a retail environment (Barry Matsuda) 10.
