Working from the premise that risk analysis is central to any crime prevention program, this book is a manual dealing with both the techniques of information collection relating to crime risk identification and the preparation of recommendations to alleviate the crime risk so identified. It is intended for use by police crime prevention officers, security personnel, and college courses in loss prevention and physical security. T’he book is organized into two main parts. Part I, “The Rationale for Surveys,” discusses the more theoretical aspects of surveys and the planning of survey procedures. Part II, ‘Components of Survey,” focuses on the mechanical aspects of getting survey work done. It describes a model survey, how it is planned and implemented givesexamples of different types of surveys, covers the preparation of recommendations from survey results, and discusses the implementation of those recommendations. Three appendixes treat physical procedures for security, internal and external security programs, and guidelines to develop security policy. An index and selected bibliography on crime prevention and security are also included. Constitutional
Rights of Prisoners by John W. Palmer.
W.H. Anderson Company 1973, 710 pp., paperback.
(646 Main Street, Cincinnati,
Ohio 45201),
The author of this work, a professor of law at Capital University who serves as a consultant to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, states in his preface that this book is not meant to be a scholarly analysis of the cases in the field; rather, it is intended as a useful guide and reference manual for those actively involved in the correctional process. The book is divided into two main parts: text and cases. Chapter 1 givesan overview of the judicial system. Chapters 2 through 9 deal with the substantive law in the critical areas of: use of force; prisoner’s rights to visitation and to the use of the mails; isolatedconfinement; religion in prison; legal services; prison disciplinary proceedings; parole; and the rights to treatment, medical aid, and life. Chapter 10 discusses the civil andcriminal liabilities of prison officials. In addition to the cases in Part Two, appendixes are included giving various codes of minimum standards and the text of the death penalty case, Furman v. Georgia. The book also contains a table of cases and an index. The Police and the Community
and The Police and the Community:
Studies by Louis A. Radelet.
Glencoe Press (8701 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California 9021 l), 1973, The Police and the Community, 751 pp., hardback-$11.95; The Police and the Community: Studies, 392 pp., paperback-$6.95. In his preface, the author states that it is the goal of these books to answer the question: “What has happened to the relationship between the police and the policed in recent years to make it eligible for the special attention it continues to hold?” Although the two volumes are meant to complement one another, they are designed to be able to stand by themselves or to be used with other books. Both works are organized into the same five catagories: scope of the problem, psychological considerations, sociological considerations, special ‘considerations, and programs. Police and the Community is a general text on police community relations, and tends to be a survey of the field. The paperback volume is made up of actual studies carried out on the various topics covered in the text. Both books have bibliographiesand name and subject indexes; in addition, the text includesa glossary and a list of abbreviations.
