The theme of this volume is the development and application of theory for use in situational crime prevention. The theoretical perspectives and concepts discussed include the rational choice perspective, environmental criminology, routine activity theory, repeat victimization, problem-oriented policing, the script analytical approach, and displacement. Some of the chapters critically analyze these ideas while others apply them to specific crime problems or to situational crime prevention practice.

Given the concern today with the role and experiences of ethnic and religious minorities, and their potential for conflict and harmony with ’host communities’ and with each other, there is much interest in historical aspects of these phenomena, not least as revealed in the long and complex history of European towns. Whilst most such studies focus on particular places or on particular groups, this volume presents a much broader view focusing on the medieval period, from the late antique to the fifteenth century, and covering regions from Germany to the Crimea and from Epirus to Livo

This book introduces the reader to methods of selecting materials for engineering applications. With the rapid growth in the variety of manufacturing materials available, the choice of the optimum material for an engineering design is of increasing importance and difficulty. Materials have to be chosen that satisfy several, often conflicting, criteria including strength, durability, flammability, and cost. The author, an acknowledged expert on materials, provides a guide to many of the classes of engineering materials currently available. He includes tables and lists of standards, along with l

In this ambitious work, Dr. Francis Cornish sets out an original theory of anaphora and deixis, and proposes a new and elegant theoretical model to represent the transfer of meaning in discourse. He brings together work by linguists, formal semanticists, psychologists, and researchers in artificial intelligence, as well as drawing on his own extensive experimental work on a variety of corpora of different genres in French and English.

Most of us know better than to drive down a highway at eighty miles an hour without looking at the road ahe
