Problem-Oriented Policing and Crime Prevention
Anthony A. Braga, ed.
(Paperback)
2002, 184 pages
ISBN: 1-881798-41-0
$25.00

The author (Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) describes problem-oriented policing interventions directed at (a) places plagued by crime and/or disorder, (b) high-activity offenders, and (c) repeat victims. Results of numerous effective projects in the U.S. and abroad are recounted, and the theoretical rationale for the success of the problem-oriented approach is explained. The information is organized to be useful to police practitioners, researchers and students.

From the Foreword by Prof. Herman Goldstein "...Braga synthesizes [police] literature in a way that communicates clearly to police practitioners and other interested parties." Policing consultant (and former chief) Michael S. Scott calls this book "excellent essential reading for police executive development courses and training programs for crime problem analysts."

A revised and expanded second edition of this book will be published in winter 2008.
