Ethics and Situational Crime Prevention - Bok av Thomas Søbirk Petersen - Inbunden

This book addresses the ethics of situational crime prevention (SCP). It seeks not only to analyse specific SCP strategies, but to demonstrate how ethical analysis can support and improve the implementation of SCP measures.In ethically analysing a particular SCP method, it is not enough to look at empirical data. Even if a method is effective at preventing crime, it may turn out to be ethically unattractive because it harms more people than it benefits, or because it violates our right to free movement...

A constitution, he argues, is an image which exists through the legal consciousness of a community.Using..
