Crime Prevention and Security Management Series
In the build up to Christmas it crossed our minds that you may want to prepare for some intellectual stimulation. Well if you do, or you want to treat someone else you may be interested to be reminded of a series of books edited by Martin Gill. They now make quite a collection. All the books tackle some aspect of security/crime prevention, and they take very different approaches. Further details about the series are available here on the Palgrave website. Below are listed are those titles that have been published so far, but look out for more to be published throughout 2014.

It gets better! The series will incorporate a new Pivott set of publications, these are shorter books which can be assimilated more quickly. Moreover, they all focus on security and crime prevention. But, and this is the really big point, the first book in the series is written by former Perpetuity Researcher Dr Emmeline Taylor, now plying her trade in Australia, but working with Martin on a chapter on CCTV for a book to be published next year (more of that in due course). Emmeline’s book, ‘Surveillance in Schools’ is likely to have a wide appeal and more details are available here from the Palgrave website.
