An overview of the conceptual and empirical issues raised by the adoption of a criminal event perspective, taking into account the multifaceted character of human behaviour. It discusses: conceptual bases of criminal events; the criminal event perspective itself; and responses to criminal events.

The Risk in Crime is an investigation of how risk has been dealt with in crime theories and the usefulness of this concept in connecting crime perspectives together; the ways in which risk is embedded in the evolution of crime; and how we might use the concept of risk to prevent crime and victimization.
