“Stephen Farrell offers a thoughtful and informed critique of the assumptions and methods that characterize studies of the contemporary crime drop. No one should ignore his important recommendation to analyze the crime drop in the historical context of the nations where it has occurred.” (Richard Rosenfeld, University of Missouri - St. Louis, USA)<p></p>
