  NOTES

  1 There is no universally a
greed definition of the word “crime” and present space does not permit discussion of the complexities within this. As used here the term refers simply to the breaking of the criminal law (however that is formulated in a given jurisdiction at a given time). For more extended discussion see McGuire (2004).

  2 Recorded crimes per 100,000 population rose from 1,242 in 1990 to 1,856 in 1992.

  3 This is sometimes contrasted with primary prevention, which is focused on long-term developmental family- and community-based initiatives (see for example Farrington & Welsh, 2007) and secondary prevention, which focuses on work with groups considered to be already “at risk” of involvement in delinquency (see for example Goldstein, 2002).

  4 Now, since 2013, renamed the Correctional Servicees Advisory and Accreditation Panel (CSAAP).
