Case Studies and Exercises

I have sought to refine the messages and teaching methods through the delivery of many training sessions, lectures, tutorials and presentations. Combining theory with practical examples; including images wherever possible; stimulating discussion; and presenting problems for groups to solve, are just some of the ways that I try to bring to life the crime prevention literature. I am acutely aware that crime prevention is not just a theoretical exercise – it often involves working with numerous partners; it often relies on limited data and information; it is always political. Consequently, I have attempted to develop training and teaching resources that enable knowledge to be gained within the context of real life scenarios.

Little guidance is required for use of most of these resources. To use these resources, some prior knowledge and experience in crime prevention practice is preferable. Resource areas include;

• Crime Prevention Practice
• Criminal Justice Prevention
• Social and Developmental Crime Prevention
• Situational Crime Prevention
• Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)
• Lecture notes

Please note that all of the photos included in these resources have been taken by me or I have purchased their production.
