| Description: | This chapter reflects on the two main purposes of this book. The first was to better understand the intricacies and nuances of risky places for crime. The second was to advocate for a systems thinking approach to foster integrated long-term crime prevention. In this final chapter we detail why systems thinking is appropriate for addressing the complexities of crime at risky places. The chapter also acknowledges obstacles to its adoption, such as institutional inertia and the need for interdisciplinary efforts. We consider who should be using systems thinking and argue for the involvement of researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and the community in creating and implementing systematic crime prevention strategies. We outline a series of steps for introducing systems thinking approaches. We note the book’s limitations, including areas needing deeper investigation, and propose an agenda for future research. The chapter highlights systems thinking’s importance in sustainable crime prevention, urging a shift towards more long-term, collaborative, and inclusive approaches for safer communities. |
