Environment, Crime and Control and The emergence of formal crime control

Hello, I am starting year two in september and am using last years 'handbooks' to read around the area, I have come across, 'environment, crime and control' and 'the emergence of formal crime control'

 

Can any one point me in the right direction of where to read?

 

Many thanks.

Environmental Criminology by Brantingham would be a good start. There are loads of books around environmental crim and crime control, most undergraduate textbooks like Criminological perspectives will have chapters in them. I think there is a section in the oxford hanbook of criminology too.

Policing; An introduction to concepts and practise - Alan Wright (2002)  

Handbook of Policing - Tim Newburn (2004)

 

Pretty good for CPTED and actual fact environmental adjustment for policing and controlling criminal activity.

Thank you all so much, I think I must have been over looking the information. I'll have a read :)
