DESCRIPTION
From tamper-proof seals to cell phones that prevent theft-of-service, it has been proven that modifying products can reduce or even eliminate specific categories of crime. The contributors to this volume argue that both the corporate sector and governments must develop research and development capacities in order to take more active roles in modifying even more criminogenic products.

"The description of organizational and governmental roles in the designing of products makes for a compelling discussion.... The focus on topics ranging from smart gungs to v-chips to security coding insures that the material will be of interest to a variety of practitioners and researchers."—Brian A.
