Reviews

"Ekblom can be your guide."

- Professional Security blog, Feb 2011

'The clarity of the style makes the book enjoyable and allows the author's reasoning to be easily followed...Ekblom identifies ground-level practitioners, delivery managers, and policy makers as his principal audience. Given the extensive use of examples from past crime-prevention projects, his book is actually a valid support for each of these three groups in their work. The book may also be attractive to researchers and students in applied criminology, as the 5Is framework is not only a practical, but also a research, tool.'
