Summary
"Reviewing more than 600 scientific evaluations of programs intended to prevent crime in settings such as families, schools, labor markets, places and communities, this book grades programs on their validity using "the scientific methods scale." This collection, which brings together contributions from leading researchers in the field of crime prevention, will provide policymakers, researchers and community leaders with an understandable source of information about what works, what does not work and what is promising in preventing crime."--BOOK JACKET.
