Abstract

This book is about crime risk management, that is identifying who is at risk from workplace crime and why, and using the information generated to formulate effective strategies to reduce the risks of victimisation or to prevent it.2 More specifically, the book seeks to highlight issues on one aspect of crime risk management, indeed an aim of it, that is increasing the risk to offenders.3 This means making situations less conducive to crime by increasing the risk of offenders being identified and apprehended and reducing their belief that they will ‘get away with it’, thereby making them think more carefully about the wisdom of carrying out an offence. In practice, there are a variety of ways of increasing the risks for offenders, and in this book papers have been included which examine different aspects of crime risk management in the context of the workplace, and a variety of ways in which offenders’ risks have been and can be increased. Moreover, and most importantly, it seeks to provide a framework for understanding the practice of crime risk management.
