Crime script analysis : preventing crimes against business

Published in the Palgrave Crime Prevention and Security Management Series, Crime Script Analysis is about the application of script analysis to prevent crime in a business environment. As stated by the Series Editor, it provides an important reference point for anyone who wants to learn more about crime scripts and their use as tools of crime prevention. The book illustrates how script analysis aligns with the crime-specific orientation found in environmental criminology and particularly explores the theoretical foundations of situational crime prevention, the approach to which it is deemed most relevant and supportive. It provides clear guidance on how to apply script analysis in daily practice, covering its main building blocks and key features. Moving beyond the use of the technique with the intent to disrupt the crime-commission process, it further explores its wider benefits to both academics and practitioners, and identifies what is needed most if we want to embrace the full potential of script analysis for preventive purposes.Published in the Palgrave Crime Prevention and Security Management Series, Crime Script Analysis is about the application of script analysis to prevent crime in a business environment.
