Situational Crime Prevention

Synopsis
In this film Cambridge sociologist Kate Painter explains how some forms of crime can be effectively managed through the control of physical space. The film uses Painter and Farrington’s seminal Stoke-on-Trent street-lighting study to demonstrate the relationship between continuities and changes in the built environment and some types of criminal behaviour.
