It analyses the effect of post WW2 crime booms which triggered a universal improvement in security across the Western world. " The International Crime Drop: New Directions in Research sets out to fill a void in current criminological literature by explaining this crime drop. Whereas a plethora of scholarly articles outline the decline (most notably in violence) in the US, this book compiles work from academics and practitioners who explore international crime trends. This is intended to (and manages to) provide an undeniably valuable and fertile base for the development of internationally applicable hypotheses to explain the drop. While these explanations can potentially take any direction - perhaps even using apparently unrelated hypotheses to link to crime in a 'butterfly effect'-esque fashion - the book does attempt to nudge theorists toward a opportunity theory-based justifications for falling crime rates." - The Internet Journal of Criminology Zusammenfassung Drawing on new studies from major European countries and Australia! this exciting collection extends the ongoing debate on falling crime rates from the perspective of criminal opportunity or routine activity theory.
