Situational Prevention of Violent Crime: Theory and Practice in Australia
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper looks at examples of recent violence prevention initiatives in Australia and relates these to the situational prevention model. The situational prevention matrix is useful in classifying existing violence prevention approaches, pointing to new ones and providing a framework for understanding the factors relevant to violence and its prevention. Although there have been a range of efforts aimed at preventing violence the focus here will be on strategies aimed at altering the situation in which violence occurs. Before describing these, a background on situational prevention will be provided and a perspective on violence that focuses on its rational choice dimensions will be briefly outlined.
