Exploring crime prevention strategies, this book emphasizes the importance of environmental design and social participation in enhancing community safety. It argues that traditional methods, such as surveillance and physical barriers, have failed to significantly reduce crime or alleviate residents' fears. Highlighting the psychological impact of crime, it suggests that fear can be more detrimental than crime itself, advocating for innovative approaches that engage communities in creating safer urban environments.
