Thorough Review of the Effectiveness of Crime Policies
This is one of the most comprehensive reviews of evaluations of policies designed to prevent crime available. Though now somewhat dated, each author in the book takes an area of criminal justice, reviews the evaluations available at that time, and reports those findings. If you want to know which programs work to prevent crime, as well as which programs do not, this is a handy reference to have. All criminal justice practitioners and policy makers should be required to read this work before implementing any new policies or programs designed to prevent crime.
