Reflections on Reassurance Policing in the Low Countries

The presence of crime and disorder in a neighbourhood functions as a ‘signal’ to both residents and outsiders that is ‘read’ and used to inform beliefs concerning the safety of an area. Certain disorderly behaviours or objects are considered to have a disproportionate influence in shaping both individual and collective perceptions of risk or decay. Martin Innes – founding father of reassurance policing – argues.

The contributors of Reflections on Reassurance Policing in the Low Countries examine the conceptual and practical consequences of this theory for Belgium and the Netherlands.
