Synthesizing a wealth of international research, chapters cover aspects of urban crime ranging from immigration, disasters and gentrification, to more specific challenges such as adolescent delinquency, gangs and hate crime. Highlighting the diversity of crime in cities, the Handbook emphasises the need to broaden perspectives beyond those usually observed in the Global North. Expert authors evaluate future avenues for preventing and controlling crime in cities, including alternative approaches to policing, digital surveillance and smart cities.
