Designing Out Crime from Products and Systems (Crime Prevention Studies, vol. 18)
Ronald V. Clarke and Graeme R. Newman, eds.
(Cloth)
2005, July, 175 pages
ISBN: 1-881798-58-5
$53.50

The theme of this volume is how to design products that are resistant to crime. Chapter topics include: government’s role in modifying crimogenic products (by the editors); evaluating anti-mobile phone theft measures (Pat Mayhew); reform of the U.K. vehicle licensing system (Gloria Laycock and Barry Webb); design against crime (Simon Learmont); fundamentals of crime-proofing design (Rachel Cooper); a plan for security coding of electronic products (the editors); the corporate sector’s role in preventing crime (Jeremy Hardie and Ben Hobbs); developing the “Karrysafe” range (Lorraine Gammon and Adam Thorpe); and the RSA student crime and design awards (Ken Pease).

Prof. Herman Goldstein (Univ. of Wisconsin): "This volume not only offers an impressively detailed collection of effective measures for preventing specific crimes, emanating from work in situational crime prevention. It significantly advances our thinking on how best to persuade the private sector to assume responsibility for adopting these measures. This exploration is especially relevant for the police, who are otherwise left with the responsibility for handling these crime problems in a more acute form, but with effective means for doing so."

Excerpt from a review by Brian A. Lawton (Sam Houston State Univ) in the Canadian Journal of Criminology & Criminal Justice: "...the description of organizational and governmental roles in the designing of products makes for a compelling discussion. ... the focus on topics ranging from smart gungs to v-chips to security coding insures that the material will be of interest to a variety of practitioners and researchers."
