I’m excited to share that my newest book, The Comprehensive Field Guide to Proactive Crime Prevention, is now available on Amazon in print and e-book.
This is not a typical academic book. It is a practical, real-world field guide designed to help law enforcement and public safety professionals think through recurring crime and community problems in a way that is realistic, proactive, and easy to understand.
The goal of this book is to help readers move beyond simply reacting to problems and instead work through them in a more thoughtful, structured, and practical way. It is written to help people better understand what strategies may be effective, what technologies may be useful, what partnerships may matter, and how those pieces can come together to address, deter, and prevent problems more effectively.
Inside, readers will find 28 crime-type playbooks covering issues ranging from violent crime and property crime to mental health, homelessness, and youth-related challenges. Each is meant to provide useful, understandable guidance that can help turn ideas into action in the real world.
This field guide can be valuable for law enforcement professionals, supervisors, investigators, analysts, agency leaders, trainers, grant writers, public safety partners, and others working to build safer communities through smarter, more proactive approaches.
If you are looking for a resource that is practical, straightforward, and built for real-world use, I hope this book will be helpful.
Available now on Amazon:
Smarter Policing. Safer Communities.
