Abstract
Crime prevention efforts and strategies can take many forms, including early interventions to improve the life chances of children and prevent them from embarking on a life of antisocial conduct and crime (often referred to as ‘developmental prevention’), the design of programs and policies to improve the social conditions and institutions that influence offending (i.e. ‘community prevention’) and strategies to intervene in the immediate (physical) environment in which crime takes place (Welsh and Farrington 2012b: ix). This book is about the application of script analysis in the interest of the latter type of interventions.

A fourth strategy, ‘criminal justice prevention’, refers to the more traditional (deterrent, incapacitative, and rehabilitative) strategies operated by law enforcement and agencies of the criminal justice system (Welsh and Farrington 2012c: 4).
