Criminal Justice
Before a crime is ever committed, law enforcement officials try to prevent
lawbreaking by enacting policies and safeguards. Crime-fighting and Crime
Prevention provides a clear look at the efforts of law enforcement agencies
and civilians to control and prevent crimes. The various crime-prevention
techniques covered range from computer databases that manage deployment of
police officers and public relations campaigns and programs that enhance
public awareness, to auxiliary police forces, neighborhood watch groups,
and other community outreach programs.

This informative book also explores the different branches and levels of
law enforcement, including local police agencies, state police, specialized
police units, and the FBI and other federal law enforcement agents; discusses
the concept of jurisdiction; and explores the history and development of law
enforcement with an emphasis on successes and breakthroughs. The last chapter
outlines what steps civilians have taken and can take to safeguard themselves
and their neighborhoods against crime.
